The conformational states of diglyme in both the solid and liquid states have been determined by an integrated use of both IR and Raman spectroscopy together with ab initio/density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Using knowledge from diglyme also made possible the study of the conformational state of longer glymes, including a quantitative study of the D-LAM mode. We hereby unambiguously can assign the (tgt)(n) conformational state to all glymes and PEO in the solid state.

The realization of lithium-metal (Li) batteries faces challenges due to dendritic Li deposition causing internal short-circuit and low Coulombic efficiency. In this regard, the Li-deposition stability largely depends on the electrolyte, which reacts with Li to form a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with diverse physico-chemical properties, and dictates the interphasial kinetics. Therefore, optimizing the electrolyte for stability and performance remains pivotal.

A non-polarizable force field for lithium (Li+) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI-) ions solvated in diglyme at around 0.2 mol fraction salt concentration was developed based on ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and a modified polymer consistent force field model. A force-torque matching based scheme, in conjunction with a genetic algorithm, was used to determine the Lennard-Jones (LJ) parameters of the ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions.

Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used for energy storage due to their long lifespan and high energy density, but the use of unsafe electrolytes poses significant health and safety concerns. An alternative source is necessary to maintain electrochemical efficacy. This research demonstrates new safe glyme-based electrolytes for silica/carbon (SiO/C) nanocomposite derived from Australian rice husk (RH).

Article Synopsis
- Iodide-based redox mediation in lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries shows high efficiency, and this study investigates how the electrolyte composition influences the solvation of iodide (I) for better battery performance.
- Through molecular dynamics simulations, researchers analyzed various concentrations of I and HO in different glymes, finding that shorter glyme chains enhance iodide packing but hinder lithium solvation.
- The study also reveals that adding water affects the interactions between lithium and iodide, with competition for water coordination differing based on glyme chain length, which impacts the overall efficiency of the battery system.

Solutions made of tetraglyme (G4) containing Ca(TFSI) have been studied as models to understand the solvation structure and the conductivity properties of multivalent ions in low dielectric constant ethereal electrolytes. These solutions have been characterised using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, rheological measurement, and Raman spectroscopy. The ionic conductivity of these electrolytes shows an intriguing non-monotonic behaviour with temperature which deviates from the semi-empirical Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher equation at a critical temperature.
