To better understand these new nitrogen configurations we perform a Bader charge analysis to calculate the charge distribution around the nitrogen atoms. Previously, this method has been used to understand the electrolyte role in SEI formation in lithium metal batteries. This allows us to understand the magnitude of the charge transfer onto the different nitrogen states. Moreover, our analysis considers separately the charge transferred to the electrophilic and nucleophilic nitrogen atoms comprising N 2 . First, the embedded state gained a total average charge of -2.23 with the average charge on the nucleophilic nitrogen being -1.13
