Abstract
The investigation of solvation structures and dynamics in lithium-ion battery electrolytes and amides in water has significant implications for both fundamental science and practical applications. Understanding the solvation dynamics of lithium electrolytes can lead to the development of safer and more efficient LIBs. The study of hydrogen bond dynamics of N-alkyl substituted amides has important implications for the development of thermos-responsive polymers used in biomedical applications. By understanding how N-alkyl substitutions affect the hydration structure and dynamics of amides, this research can inform the design of polymers with tailored properties for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and other medical applications. This research also provides fundamental insights into the molecular interactions and dynamics of liquids, contributing to the broader field of physical chemistry. The combination of experimental and computational methods offers a comprehensive understanding of the systems under study, advancing our knowledge of solvation phenomena and molecular dynamics.
