Ten billion. That's how many commercially procurable molecules are available today. Start looking at them in groups of five ' the typical combination used to make electrolyte materials in batteries ' and it increases to 10 to the 47th power. All of those combinations matter in the world of batteries. Find the right mixture of electrolyte materials and you can end up with a faster charging, more energy dense battery for an EV, the grid or even an electric airplane. The downside' Similar to the drug discovery process, it can take more than a decade and thousands of failures to find the right fit. Lithium-ion batteries contain three critical building blocks. There are two electrodes, an anode (negative) on one side and a cathode (positive) on the other. An electrolyte typically sits in the middle and acts as the courier to move ions between the electrodes when charging and discharging. Aionics is focused on the electrolyte and it's using an AI toolkit to accelerate discovery and... learn more
