Supercomputers and AI Assistance: Finding New Hope for Next-Generation Battery Materials
With the boom in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, global demand for batteries is surging. However, existing lithium batteries face challenges such as resource scarcity, supply chain concentration, and high water consumption in mining, which limit the sustainable development of the energy transition. To overcome these bottlenecks, scientists are leveraging the power of supercomputers and artificial intelligence to accelerate the search for new generation battery materials based on abundant metals like magnesium, zinc, and aluminum.
