Fig. 2: Investigation of solvation structures.

Radical distribution functions (g(r), solid lines) and coordination number (n(r), dashed lines) in (a) 10 M electrolyte and (b) Cl 7 electrolyte. Snapshots of the MD simulation boxes of (c) 10 M and (d) Cl 7 electrolytes. e 7Li NMR spectra of different electrolytes. f WAXS reveals the presence of a shorter interatomic correlation distance within the Cl 7 electrolyte, forming more compact solvation clusters.
