Abstract

We use first-principles molecular dynamics to study the electrochemical solid-solid interface between lithium metal and lithium electrolyte LiBH ₄. An external bias is applied by using an effective screening medium. We observe large polarization in the LiBH₄, because the lithium cations in LiBH₄ are shifted more on one side of the double-well potential of Li⁺. This results in a large potential drop in the interface region and a large double-layer capacity corresponding to ca. 70 μF/cm². H-coordination to the Li atoms plays an important role in the charge-transfer reaction and ion transfer.
