Deviations from the Nernst-Einstein relation are commonly attributed to ion-ion correlation and ion pairing. Despite the fact that these deviations can be quantified by either experimental measurements or molecular dynamics simulations, there is no rule of thumb to tell the extent of deviations. Here, we show that deviations from the Nernst-Einstein relation are proportional to the inverse viscosity by exploring the finite-size effect on transport properties under periodic boundary conditions. This conclusion is in accord with the established experimental results of ionic liquids.

Ion transport through electrolytes critically impacts the performance of batteries and other devices. Many frameworks used to model ion transport assume hydrodynamic mechanisms and focus on maximizing conductivity by minimizing viscosity. However, solid-state electrolytes illustrate that non-hydrodynamic ion transport can define device performance.

The incorporation of ionic liquids into existing proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials has been shown to enhance thermal stability and improve conductivity at reduced water content. Because proton transport is dictated by an interplay between vehicular diffusion and the Grotthuss mechanism, it is expected that the nanoscale structure of the resulting ionic liquid/water networks will sensitively influence transport properties. In this work, we study proton transport in [BMIM][BF]/water mixtures of systematically varying water volume fraction, focusing on concentrations near the percolation threshold in which water networks are connected over macroscopic length scales.

Alkaline electrolyte solutions are important components in rechargeable batteries and alkaline fuel cells. As the ionic conductivity is thought to be a limiting factor in the performance of these devices, which are often operated at elevated temperatures, its temperature dependence is of significant interest. Here we use NaOH as a prototypical example of alkaline electrolytes, and for this system we have carried out reactive molecular dynamics simulations with an experimentally verified high-dimensional neural network potential derived from density-functional theory calculations.

Based on experimental data, we optimized the potential parameters for the classical molecular dynamics simulation to reproduce the volume and ionic conductivity of the molten alkali-metal carbonates ACO where A = Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs at T/K = 1223 and ambient pressure. The force field was then applied to the binary mixtures (LiCs)CO and (LiK)CO. In (LiCs)CO, the diffusion coefficient D exceeds D at x > 0.
