Abstract:

With the continuous adaptation of large-scale energy storage systems and electrical equipment, the energy storage capacity of batteries and supercapacitors is facing increasing demands and challenges. The long research and development cycle and inefficient material screening are two major problems in the development of energy storage materials (ESM). The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to ESM is a new solution to this problem. Furthermore, machine learning (ML), an aspect of AI, has proven to be a powerful tool to for gaining insights from data. ML can mine data behind valuable information and implicit correlation, help to reveal the key structure of ESM or properties and performance relationships, and significantly accelerate ESM development and screening. At the same time, AI for energy storage system design and operation provides advanced prediction tools. Therefore, future integration research on AI and energy storage technology will be an emerging field worthy of attention. This study first provides an overview of the key technical framework for AI, including the ML process, supervised and unsupervised learning, and explainable AI. Then, the latest research progress of AI in ESM design, identification, screening, and performance prediction is summarized. A list of databases commonly used in ML in energy storage materials research is also provided. The contribution of this fusion technology to smart grid optimization and renewable energy integration and management is briefly analyzed. Finally, this study looks at the opportunities and challenges facing the integration of AI and energy storage technology, as well as the research directions to focus on in the future.
