  • Simulating changes in solute-solvent interactions at t=0.
  • Calculating the time evolution of solvent particle density fields for t>0.

    • Main Results:

    • TDDFM accurately predicted monotonic decreases in solvation time with increasing mole fraction of strongly interacting solvent, aligning with experimental data.
    • The linear model failed to reproduce these monotonic trends.
    • When interactions of both solvent components were altered, TDDFM revealed a peak in mole fraction dependence, significantly higher than predicted by the linear model.
    • The discrepancy was attributed to nonlinear effects in solvent particle exchange.

    Conclusions:

    • TDDFM provides a more accurate description of solvation dynamics in binary solvents compared to linear models.
    • Nonlinear effects, particularly in solvent particle exchange, are critical for precise solvation dynamics modeling.
    • The study highlights the predictive power of TDDFM for complex solvent mixtures.
