Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used to power today’s portable electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and in utility scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs). High performance LIBs are becoming increasingly important to facilitate the ever-growing trend of electrification for achieving a low-carbon future. How to enable the design of high performance...

AI can already solve sophisticated problems ranging from playing games, autonomous driving, and music generation—given enough observational data for training. The core of such success resides in efficient algorithms, compliant hardware and robust computing, all implemented using carefully curated data collected before the training phase. Thus, machines learn in a “sterile” domain, under clean, controlled...
