Molecular dynamics simulation of lithium fluoride in aqueous solutions at different temperatures 300 K – 360 K

Lithium metal is one of the most promising anodes for rechargeable batteries due to its large capacity, but its performance is plagued by high chemical reactivity, forming an unstable Li–electrolyte interface. Lithium fluoride has been recently touted as a promising material to improve this interfac...
