Abstract
AbstractThe timely arrival of novel materials plays a key role in bringing advances to society, as the pace at which major technological breakthroughs take place is usually dictated by the discovery rate at which novel materials are identified within chemical space. High‐throughput experimentation and computation strategy, now widely considered as a watershed in accelerating the discovery and optimization of novel materials in virtually every field, enables simultaneous screening, synthesis and characterization of large arrays of different material classes toward identification of the lead candidates for given system and targeted application. However, the ability to acquire data, through the continued advancement of automation platforms and workflows especially in the field of battery research and development, often outpaces the ability to optimally leverage obtained data for improved decision‐making. Closing this gap inevitably calls for adapted algorithms, development of reliable predictive models and enhanced integration with machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence. This Review aims to highlight state‐of‐the‐art achievements along with an assessment of current and future challenges as well as resulting perspectives toward accelerated development of advanced battery electrolytes and their interfaces.
Highlights
Applications of energy storage in transportation and grid scale call for generation batteries, as electrochemical devices, with high energy and power, long cycle life, high energy efficiency, impeccable safety, large sustainability, and low cost.[1,2] It is common wisdom that overall performance of batteries is limited by the fundamental behavior of the used materials including electrode active materials, electrolytes, and other supporting, so-called inactive components
In all types of past, current and future batteries, electrolyte plays a central role in terms of design and control of the electrode processes, material interactions, overall performance, long-term stability, cost, and last but not least the safety of a battery.[3]
Targeted high-throughput screening (HTS) of promising electrolyte compositions/formulations based on corresponding design of experiments hand in hand with critical scientific and mathematical thinking yields success
Summary
Applications of energy storage in transportation and grid scale call for generation batteries, as electrochemical devices, with high energy and power, long cycle life, high energy efficiency, impeccable safety, large sustainability, and low cost.[1,2] It is common wisdom that overall performance of batteries is limited by the fundamental behavior of the used materials including electrode active materials, electrolytes, and other supporting, so-called inactive components (binder, current collector, conductive fillers, cell housing, etc.).
