The accuracy of force field-based simulations is likely also limited by their relatively simplistic descriptions of electrolyte/pore interactions and the pore wall itself, as it has been demonstrated in recent experimental work that the selectivity of confined ion transport is highly sensitive to the electronic structure of the confining material. Furthermore, most force fields used to date for modeling confined electrolytes ignore electronic polarization effects, which have been shown to be crucial for realistically modeling electrolyte structure and transport in carbon nanotubes and at graphene interfaces. Achieving consensus on the nature of confined ion transport will undoubtedly require simulation models that more realistically capture the complex balance of ion-water, ionpore, and water-pore interactions inherent to these systems. While a limited number of studies have reached higher levels of accuracy using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), these works have exclusively characterized the structural properties of confined electrolytes, as characterizing ion transport requires time and length scales far beyond what is computationally feasible using AIMD.
