Efficient Millisecond Timescale Modeling of Hydroxide Ion Dynamics in Aqueous Systems: A Multiscale Simulation Approach — •Jonas Hänseroth1,2, Daniel Sebastiani2, and Christian Dreßler1 — 1Theoretical Solid State Physics, Institute of Physics, Ilmenau Universitiy of Technology, Ilmenau, Germany — 2Theoretical Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale), Germany
An adapted combined Molecular Dynamics/Lattice Monte Carlo (cMD/LMC) approach models hydroxide ion transport across extended systems and millisecond timescales.[1] The method surpasses classical Molecular Dynamics in efficiency while maintaining the accuracy of ab initio Molecular Dynamics, allowing the study of aqueous potassium hydroxide systems over a wide concentration range (3-61 wt.-%). The cMD/LMC algorithm allows simulations involving thousands of atoms at low computational cost, yielding diffusion coefficients consistent with ab initio benchmarks. This framework can provide insights into the dynamics of hydroxide ion in systems such as anion exchange membranes, which are essential for fuel cell technology. [1] J. Chem.
