Accelerating battery innovation with AI-driven materials discovery

    Max Planck team receives 1.5 million euros as part of the European project FULL-MAP

    To meet the urge for the development of new batteries with a higher longevity, an increased capacity in energy storage and refraining from critical or scarce elements, the European Commission now granted 20 million euros for the development of a materials acceleration platform. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and multi-scale modelling will be combined with experimental results to discover and develop next-generation battery materials. The Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials (MPI-SusMat) will receive 1.5 million euros to develop theoretical and experimental frameworks and workflows for accelerated materials discovery.

    Merging artificial intelligence with experimental data

    “The project aims to automate laboratory processes and conduct high-throughput experiments by integrating essential elements for thorough, sequential experimentation based on smart decision-making supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning”, says Dr. Chuanlai Liu, head of the group Computational Energy Storage Materials at MPI-SusMat. Liu will develop the physics-informed neural network models to study battery performance and ageing mechanisms at both the meso-scale and cell level, the design of electrode microstructures, the optimization of cycling conditions, and the synthesis of electrodes and electrolytes. “My group will enable and develop high-resolution characterization workflows as well as multiscale operando characterization”, explains Dr. Yug Joshi, leading the group Microstructure and Interfaces of Battery Materials at MPI-SusMat.

    European-wide collaboration

    The project brings together a diverse consortium of 33 partners from 12 European countries, coordinated by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. This multidisciplinary team includes partners from academia and industry merging expertise in artificial intelligence, materials design and commercialisation. The aim is to ensure that both environmental criteria and economic factors are met.

    Help

    Search / advanced search of the idw archives
    Combination of search terms

    You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

    Brackets

    You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

    Phrases

    Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

    Selection criteria

    You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

    If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
