Battery dynamics

The latest advance from a research collaboration with industry could dramatically accelerate the development of sturdier batteries for fast-charging electric vehicles. 

Scientists have taken a major step forward in harnessing machine learning to accelerate the design for better batteries: Instead of using it just to speed up scientific analysis by looking for patterns in data, as researchers generally do, they combined it with knowledge gained from experiments and equations guided by physics to discover and explain a process that shortens the lifetimes of fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. 

Principal Researchers: Jungjin Park, Hongbo Zhao, Stephen Dongmin Kang, David Shapiro, Jihyun Hong, Michael Toney, Martin Bazant, Will Chueh
