LINK TO Li-FeF2 CONVERSION MOVIE
Movie shows for the first time the atomistic mechanism of the conversion reaction of the FeF2 crystalline cathode to Fe metal and LiF crystals. The movie shows the red Li added to the top of the FeF2 (001) surface (Fe=green, F=yellow) in increments during the simulation showing the reduction of the Fe+2 to Fe metal and formation of the Fe clusters and eventual formation of LiF crystal (red bonds) based on the adaptive force field developed in our lab. See 'Research' page for some additional images.
