Breaking Bottlenecks in Solid Electrolyte Discovery with Large Artificial Intelligence Models (opens in new tab)

Solid electrolytes (SEs) are central to next-generation metal batteries, yet their discovery remains constrained by fragmented data, limited transferability of simulations, and slow experimental iteration. Unlike catalysis, where surface reactivity dominates, SEs require simultaneous optimization of bulk ion transport, defect chemistry, mechanical integrity, and interfacial stability. Here, we outline a framework for autonomous SE discovery enab...
