摘要
Density functional theory is used to study the interaction of Li+ cation with ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) comparatively, which are the most popular solvents used in lithium-ion battery composite. In our theoretical calculations, we use DFT hybrid parameter B3LYP5 with a basis set 6-31G** by means of PCGAMESS/Firefly software package. We analyze the optimized structures of EC, PC, and their clusters including lithium-ion. We then calculate solvation energy, desolvation energy, electron affinity, Gibbs free energy, heats of formation of Li+ solvated by EC and PC, and the charge on Li+. From the above analysis, we observe EC as a better solvent than PC in applications of lithium-ion batteries.
