a17O and 1H NMR spectra of H2O in different aqueous solutions. b Raman spectra for different aqueous solutions with shadowed areas representing different peaks. 3D snapshots of the 21KOTF (c) and 21KOTF-1DHA (e) electrolytes from AIMD simulations. The RDFs and coordination numbers of K with O-atom from H2O, OTF−, or DHA in the 21KOTF (d) and 21KOTF-1DHA (f) electrolytes from AIMD simulations (300 K); the insets in (d, f) are the binding energies (Eb) of K+-H2O and K+-DHA, respectively. Similar AIMD simulation results were also obtained at 500 K (Supplementary Fig. 25).
