Abstract:

Solid-state batteries are one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies. Designing new battery materials with excellent comprehensive performance is expected to improve the performance of batteries. This article focuses on key scientific issues in solid-state batteries, such as migrated ion transport behavior, complex surface/interface phenomena, and microstructural dynamic evolution. Furthermore, it proposes a high-throughput material screening strategy based on multiprecision transmission. It also discusses the outstanding role of machine learning techniques in accelerating the simulation of complex physical and chemical processes and analyzing the structure-properties relationships of batteries. Benefiting from the application of multiprecision transmission concepts and machine learning techniques, the efficient acquisition of fast ion conductor materials can be achieved from various perspectives, such as direct screening, element substitution, crystal structure construction, and the design of amorphous structures. This allows for a multidimensional analysis of ionic transport performance and microscopic mechanisms, greatly enriching the range of candidate materials for electrode and solid-state electrolyte materials. In addition, the cloud toolkit designed for the development process of battery materials provides multiple features, such as data archiving, analysis, and reutilization, aimed at automating the material development process. The research paradigm and models based on big data introduced in this article, together with emerging machine learning technologies, can effectively accelerate the design and development process of new battery materials, deepen the understanding of complex physical and chemical phenomena inside batteries, and promote the design of practical new solid-state battery materials.
