Alternatively, the cost-effective approach to account for polarization effects is to scale the atomic charges to mimic the average charge screening caused by the polarization as well as the charge transfer effects . In this work, charges are downscaled to an absolute value of 0.8 to account for the charge transfer and polarizability within ILs. Charge scaling is an efficient way to approximately include polarizability and charge-transfer effects in classical simulations at no further computational cost .
