Oxygen Transport through Amorphous Cathode Coatings in Solid-State #Batteries By Kristin Persson Ceder Group et al. UC Berkeley Berkeley Lab Read the paper 👉 go.acs.org/9cE

💡Why does fine-tuning work well with pre-trained universal MLIP? We benchmarked several uMLIPs and discovered a systematic PES softening effect, which suggests that a considerable fraction of errors can be efficiently corrected. Check the preprint. 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2405.07105

Why can cation disorder improve the ionic conductivity in solid-state electrolytes? Why is mechanochemical ball-milling typically required to introduce cation disorder, rather than solid-state heating? Check the insights from computational modeling 👇 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Great insights from Peichen Zhong et al. on cation disorder in halide superionic conductors using thermodynamic & kinetic modeling. A nice combo of Cluster Expansion + ML Potential! 💡 #SolidStateElectrolyte #AI4Material

I'm elated to be joining ChBE @ Georgia Tech and Georgia Tech in Jan. 2025! My group will focus on electrochemical interfaces and battery recycling. We'll be looking for inspired individuals, with deep commitments to climate change & sustainability, to join us in tackling these challenges.
