Check out our review on autonomous experimentation for novel inorganic materials synthesis, now published in Materials Horizons! Ceder Group @ChrisJBartel Berkeley Lab pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Artā¦

Happy to share our recent work in Chemistry of Materials on automating phase identification for XRD spectra with a probabilistic CNN! Thanks to Ceder Group @ChrisJBartel Code: github.com/njszym/XRD-Aut⦠Paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102ā¦


For those interested in synthesis science and DRX cathodes, check out our latest article in Chemistry of Materials showing several factors that govern fluorination. Big thanks to all the great collaborators! Yan Zeng Ceder Group @ChrisJBartel @ClementGroupSB pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acā¦

Excited to share our recent work in npj Journals, where we show that machine learning can be used to "drive" XRD measurements and identify phases in real time! Thanks to @ChrisJBartel Yan Zeng SaĆÆd Diallo nature.com/articles/s4152ā¦


Short-range order plays an important role in the performance of DRX cathodes š check out our latest work in Chemistry of Materials where we show how pair distribution function data can be used to study this property! Thanks to Bin Ouyang and @ChrisJBartel pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acā¦

Our method to automate the optimization of solid-state synthesis is out now in Nature Communications! It uses DFT data but also learns from experiments to find the best precursors for a given material. We hope this can help guide future autonomous platforms š¤ š nature.com/articles/s4146ā¦


Check out our latest work on Selective formation of metastable polymorphs in solid-state synthesis | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc⦠We introduce a framework that uses both reaction energy and surface energy for effective polymorph selection. Nathan Szymanski Ceder Group

New perspective out in ACSEnergyLett where @ChrisJBartel and I share our thoughts on how computations have and will continue to play a role in guiding the synthesis of battery materials. Check it out! doi.org/10.1021/acseneā¦


Some new work from Shilong Wang in the Ceder Group on a method for efficient and acid-free extraction of Li from spodumene, a common mineral used in battery manufacturing - happy to be a part of this! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acā¦

Just published in Nano Letters In close collaboration with Chris Bartel's group, We reveal growth mechanisms of rutile GeOā and (Sn,Ge)O2 films via hybrid MBE. #WideBandgapSemiconductors #HighPowerDevices U.S. National Science Foundation AFOSR College of Sci & Eng pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10ā¦

New paper out in ACS Publications introducing some topological descriptors of electron density for inorganic materials! We hope these can supplement existing descriptors like Bader charges and serve as compact inputs for machine learning doi.org/10.1021/acsmatā¦
