ABSTRACT
The previously introduced workflow to achieve an energetically and structurally optimized description of frontier bonds in quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM)-type applications was extended into the regime of computational material sciences at the example of a layered carbon model systems. Optimized QM/MM link bond parameters at HSEsol/6-311G(d,p) and self-consistent density functional tight binding (SCC-DFTB) were derived for graphitic systems, enabling detailed investigation of specific structure motifs occurring in graphene-derived structures v i a quantum-chemical calculations. Exemplary molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the isochoric-isothermic (NVT) ensemble were carried out to study the intercalation of lithium and the properties of the Stone-Thrower-Wales defect. The diffusivity of lithium as well as hydrogen and proton adsorption on a defective graphene surface served as additional example. The results of the QM/MM MD simulations provide detailed insight into the applicability of the employed link-bond strategy when studying intercalation and adsorption properties of graphitic materials.
