Accelerated discovery of solid-state battery properties enabled by active learning approaches
摘要
In this study, we present a large-scale machine learning screening to discover promising candidate compounds for lithium-based solid-state electrolyte batteries. Key properties such as superionic conductivity and wide electrochemical stability are crucial for achieving high-performance solid-state batteries, which have great potential as the next generation of batteries with high energy density and relatively low cost. Our work employs high-throughput screening using multiple regression machine learning models on lithium-containing materials. Subsequently, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation and experimental validation were conducted exhibiting high ionic conductivity, namely Li4.5TiO3.25 and Li2VCl5. Furthermore, we applied a design methodology to increase the ionic conductivity at ambient temperature. These findings provide a comprehensive strategy for the development of room-temperature superionic conductors for high-performance solid-state batteries.
