The development of reliable computational methods for novel battery materials has become essential due to the recently intensified research efforts on more sustainable energy storage materials. Here, we use a recently developed framework allowing to consistently incorporate quantum-mechanical activation barriers to classical molecular dynamics simulations to study the reductive solvent decomposition and formation of the solid electrolyte interphase for a graphite/carbonate electrolyte interface. We focus on deriving condensed-phase effective rates based on the elementary gas-phase reduction and decomposition energy barriers.

Liquid electrolyte design and modelling is an essential part of the development of improved lithium ion batteries. For mixed organic carbonates (ethylene carbonate (EC) and ethyl-methyl carbonate (EMC) mixtures)-based electrolytes with LiPF as salt, we have compared a polarizable force field with the standard non-polarizable force field with and without charge rescaling to model the structural and dynamic properties. The result of our molecular dynamics simulations shows that both polarizable and non-polarizable force fields have similar structural factors, which are also in agreement with X-ray diffraction experimental results.

Automatic machine learning of empirical models from experimental data has recently become possible as a result of increased availability of computational power and dedicated algorithms. Despite the successes of non-parametric inference and neural-network-based inference for empirical modelling, a physical interpretation of the results often remains challenging. Here, we focus on direct inference of governing differential equations from data, which can be formulated as a linear inverse problem.

We observe the presence of infinitely fine-scaled alternations within the performance landscape of reservoir computers aimed for chaotic data forecasting. We investigate the emergence of the observed structures by means of variations of the transversal stability of the synchronization manifold relating the observational and internal dynamical states. Finally, we deduce a simple calibration method in order to attenuate the thus evidenced performance uncertainty.
