EXTENDED ABSTRACT: The development of next-generation new technology is often hinged on the limited performance of critical materials. As a notable example, the development of solid-state batteries is limited by the shortcomings of multiple properties of solid electrolyte, electrode, and materials interfaces. In this presentation, we will discuss the advancements in various computation techniques encompassing first principles computation, large materials database, and machine learning, motivated by Materials Genome Engineering, leading to the accelerated computation design of new materials with enhanced performances. Many materials discovered by computation have been experimentally verified. The computation framework combining a set of techniques represents a new MGE paradigm for materials design and discovery for accelerated enabling next-generation technologies.
Keywords: Computational materials design; solid-state battery; solid electrolyte
