PREDICTOR

High-throughput screening, synthesis and characterization of active materials for flow batteries.

About the project

PREDICTOR aims to establish a rapid, high-throughput method to identify and develop materials for electrochemical energy storage.

This method will comprise:

  • A modelling and simulation tool for the computational screening of organic chemicals based on their potential performance in energy storage systems.
  • Automated chemical synthesis, electrolyte production and characterization methods, so that the chemicals identified in the screening step can be rapidly produced and tested for their suitability in energy storage applications.
  • Artificial-intelligence-based self-optimization methods that allow experimental data from material characterization to be fed back into automated experimental methods to enable self-driving laboratory platforms and for modelling and simulation tools, improving their accuracy.
  • Data management systems to standardize and store the data generated for further use in model validation and self-optimization procedures
    This approach will allow the rapid identification, synthesis and characterization of materials within a coherent development chain, replacing conventional trial-and-error developments.
