Machine learning: Accelerating materials development for energy storage and conversion

Abstract

With the development of modern society, the requirement for energy has become increasingly important on a global scale. Therefore, the exploration of novel materials for renewable energy technologies is urgently needed. Traditional methods are difficult to meet the requirements for materials science due to long experimental period and high cost. Nowadays, machine learning (ML) is rising as a new research paradigm to revolutionize materials discovery.In this review, we briefly introduce the basic procedure of ML and common algorithms in materials science, and particularly focus on latest progress in applying ML to property prediction and materials development for energyrelated fields, including catalysis, batteries, solar cells, and gas capture. Moreover, contributions of ML to experiments are involved as well. We highly expect that this review could lead the way forward in the future development of ML in materials science.

Layered Oxide Cathode for Potassium‐Ion Battery: Recent Progress and Prospective

“…Such a challenge has triggered a boost in the development of large‐scale energy storage solutions, which enables generated renewable energy to be stored until required. [ 1 ] During the past three decades, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have undoubtedly been the most successful energy storage system and are popularly employed in various electronic devices ranging from 3C products to electric vehicles. [ 2–4 ] Nevertheless, due to the relative rarity of lithium, combined with the high cost of mining and refining, the projected cost for the large‐scale electrical grid using LIBs are insanely high.…”

Machine Learning Lattice Constants for Cubic Perovskite Compounds

“…As one of the machine learning techniques, the GPR has been utilized in various materials systems to predict important physical parameters in diverse application fields of. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] This model could serve as a guideline for cubic perovskite design, both oxides and halides, and could be used as part of machine learning to aid understandings of relationships between ionic radii and lattice constants.…”

Lithium lanthanum titanate perovskite as an anode for lithium ion batteries

“…riven by the ever-growing needs for the plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grid, the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy and power densities is more urgent than before [1][2][3] . To date, graphite and spinel Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 are the most successful anode materials for LIBs, which have been widely used in the commercial LIBs 4,5 .…”
