Why we write about this topic: Batteries are used for everything. Because of the energy transition, the demand for better batteries has grown. Not only should they be able to relieve the power grid during congestion, they also have to power electric cars and planes. With this database, the super battery is another step closer. That is why Innovation Origins selected this post.
Scientists from the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) have created a public database of 31.618 molecules that could potentially be used in future batteries. The researchers used artificial intelligence and supercomputers to identify the molecules’ properties, writes the research institute in a press release.
In recent years, chemists have designed hundreds of molecules that could potentially be useful in flow batteries for energy storage. The problem, however, is that for many…
