Radial distribution (g(r)) of carbonyl oxygens (Oc) in (top) EC and (bottom) PC around Li+ using (left) FFMD and (right) AIMD simulations by Chaudhari et al.351 In the FFMD case, the partial charges on EC and PC molecules were reduced from 100 to 90% and subsequently to 80%. Corresponding running coordination numbers (⟨n(r)⟩) are also plotted to show how the number of solvent molecules changes with a change in partial charges. Reproduced with permission from ref 351.
