Microstructure and transport properties of lithium hexafluorophosphate solutions in binary mixture of dimethyl carbonate with ethylene carbonate from molecular dynamics simulation by Dmytro Dudariev, Yevhenii Holubenko, Rebie Jallah, Oleg Kalugin

“…Solutions of Li+ salts in many non-aqueous solvents used in Li-ion batteries have a maximum conductivity curve depending on the electrolyte concentration. For the microscopic interpretation of this phenomenon for one of the most popular electrolytes, LiPF6 solutions in a binary mixture of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) / ethylene carbonate (EC) (1:1), molecular dynamics simulations of the corresponding systems with a salt content of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 M were performed. …”

Understanding the influence of hydrogen on BCC iron grain boundaries using the kinetic activation relaxation technique (k-ART) by Aynour Khosravi, Jun Song, Normand Mousseau

“…These results indicate that the presence of hydrogen rigidifies the direct GB interface layers while allowing more atoms to be active for the $\Sigma 37$ GB. This provides a microscopic basis to support the existence of competing mechanisms compatible with either plasticity (such as hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity—HELP) or energy-dominated (hydrogen enhanced decohesion mechanism—HEDE) embrittlement, with the relative importance of these mechanisms determined by the local geometry of the GBs.…”
