AI-Guided Materials Discovery: Bayesian Optimisation for Electrolyte Formulation

Closed-loop diagram of Bayesian optimisation for autonomous electrolyte formulation discovery: propose candidate, robotic synthesis, measure performance, update model

Choosing a solvent blend or additive package is fundamentally a search problem: a handful of components, each at a continuous concentration, combine into a space with far more candidate formulations than anyone could test by hand. The Electrolyte Solvent Ratios and Electrolyte Additives pages describe what’s in that space and why each component matters. This … Read more

Aluminium’s Role in the Decarbonization of Batteries

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are seen as the cornerstone of a more sustainable future of transport. Batteries are the key technology for powering these vehicles. However, the production of battery cells involves energy-intensive processes that result in significant CO2e emissions. As a result, BEVs have higher carbon footprint in production than internal combustion engine (ICE) … Read more

Making energy greener – what role does elemental analysis play?

elemental analysis

In the drive towards a future that is no longer dependent on burning fossil fuels for energy generation, several technologies have become established as front runners in the race to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. Among the most significant are lithium ion batteries, biofuels and renewable energy sources, such as wind power. Aside from … Read more
