The Computational Database for Li-S Batteries (ComBat) is a publicly available dataset of quantum-chemical and molecular dynamics properties for Li-S electrolytes containing solvents spanning 16 different chemical classes.
The data includes DFT-optimized geometries (in PDB format) and several properties, such as binding energies, partial atomic charges, polarizabilities, dipole moments, as well as MD-derived properties, such as radial distribution functions, coordination numbers, diffusion coefficients, and more. More details about each property can be found below.
