De-solvation of a Li ion at an electrode/electrolyte interface can be the rate-determining step of the reaction in lithium-ion secondary batteries. The present study theoretically evaluates the de-solvation energies of Li, Na, and Mg ions to organic electrolyte solvents. The Na-ion complexes reveale...
