Microscopic origins of conductivity in molten salts unraveled by computer simulations

Molten salt electrolytes are widely used in energy storage and conversion, but our understanding of conductivity trends remains incomplete. Here, computational approaches are used to determine ionic electrical mobilities, local structures, and kinetics, unravelling the origins of conductivity in mol...
