Outline

Developments of new electrolyte materials are highly demanded for the future high performance Lithium-ion batteries (LIB). In this project, materials design of electrolytes is carried out with highly accurate density functional theory based molecular dynamics simulation (DFT-MD) and data driven informatics science technique. We will search not only the conventional dilute electrolyte but also the highly concentrated Li-salt electrolyte, which is a new concept of the LIB electrolyte. Through this project, we construct a new materials design strategy for liquids.
