Solid-state electrolytes are crucial in lithium-ion battery research, because of the pressing need for safe and durable high-energy storage solutions. Understanding Li-ion dynamics in these materials is essential for developing improved battery materials. Owing to its non-destructive nature and sensitivity to atomic environments, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR) spectroscopy has become an invaluable tool for probing diverse Li-ion environments and investigating Li-ion mobility.
In order to facilitate interpretation of experimental Li SS-NMR spectra, we are setting up a new computational reference scale for a wide range of diamagnetic Li compounds. The efficient calculation of NMR parameters such as the electric field gradient tensor is enabled through the use of the linear-scaling ab initio all-electron density-functional theory code FermiONs++ [1] and a solid-state embedding method. The latter hybrid QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) approach is validated against traditional periodic calculations of SS-NMR parameters for ideal reference systems.
