Battery companies want to know the relationship between their manufacturing parameters and the performance of the resulting cells, so that they can optimise their products for particular applications, reduce costs, and improve yield. The literature contains many examples of physics-based models of the various manufacturing processes (including mixing, coating, drying and calendaring), but these systems are hugely complex, and as a result they are expensive to simulate and hard to validate.
Recent advances in generative machine learning (ML) methods have allowed the relationship from manufacturing parameters to microstructure to be directly learned from data.
In this talk I will present a modular approach to electrode microstructural optimisation cycle that makes use of these ML methods, in combination with GPU accelerated metric extraction (TauFactor 2), electrochemical cell simulation (PyBaMM), and Bayesian optimisation. We are always looking for new collaborations and new data so please get in touch! If you’d like to use any of our suite of open-source tools, then head to our website: https://tldr-group.github.io
We’ve also just spun-out a company from Imperial, called Polaron AI, to bring these tools to market. Check out our website (www.polaron.ai) and get in touch: info@polaron.ai
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
