In this paper, we introduce an approach for the prediction of capacity for over 100,000 spinel compounds relevant for battery materials, from which we propose the 20 most promising candidate materials. In the design of batteries, selecting the proper material is difficult because there are so many metrics to consider, including capacity which is a fundamental engineering property. Using reported experimental data as our starting point, we demonstrate how we can build a dataset that provides a guide for the selection of battery materials. Although we focus on capacity of Li based spinel structures for electrode materials relevant for usage in batteries, the methodology developed and demonstrated here can be adapted to other properties, structures, and site occupancies. Further, theoretical capacity is often used as a guideline for material design of battery materials. In this paper, we show how this is insufficient for representing experimental measurements, while our methodology closes this gap and provides an accurate computational representation of experimental data. |
