The simulated trends shown in interfaces with the ClO 4 -electrolyte. In addition to this intrinsic rate of a given surface adsorption state, the influence of each state to the total reaction rate is weighted by its probability as evaluated by the relative value of 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 + , hence giving the 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 + property an added importance. Recall that, whereas 𝐻 DA is mainly affected by the SOC and insensitive to the electrolyte, 𝛽, 𝜆, and 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 + show electrolyte-dependency to some degree, hence all adsorbate states that give large contributions to the current density are associated with low values of 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 +, 𝛽 and 𝜆. Of these structures, complexes containing anions (ClO 4 -or PF 6 -) with CNanion=1 dominate. The results, moreover, suggest that a key underlying origin to the difference between ClO 4 -or PF 6 -is the more pronounced interaction of ClO 4 with the LCO surface; this yields a more beneficial adsorption of Li + at the OHP associated with a closer adsorption distance (~0.1 Å). The surface interactions of ClO 4 -is also associated with an additional stabilization of the surface and electrolyte during Li + solvation and desolvation that primarily affects the 𝛽, which is significantly more beneficial (i.e., smaller) for ClO 4 -. In addition, the less favorable bulk 𝜇 𝐿𝑖 + in the ClO 4 -electrolyte compared to PF 6 yields a more favorable 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 + at the interface for the case of ClO 4 -, which has been previously explained by Aggarwal et al. Although the bulk electrolyte effect, as well as influence of the LCO interaction difference of ClO 4 -compared to PF 6 -, are weak to moderate, they are significant enough to alter the current density by an order of magnitude when adding up the contributions of 𝛽, 𝜆, and 𝜔 𝐿𝑖 + , with 𝛽 defining the major part of the difference between the electrolytes.
