MIT: Machine learning speeds electrolyte search for better sodium-metal batteries
SMRTR summary
MIT researchers used AI to rapidly design better electrolytes for sodium-metal batteries, generating 100,000 candidate molecules in 24 hours. The best performer, a compact solvent called DMFSA, improved both charging speed and stability, potentially making sodium batteries a cheaper, more practical alternative to lithium-based energy storage.
