Battery supplies agency NOVONIX and enterprise SaaS supplier SandboxAQ will collaborate to foretell the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, utilizing SandboxAQ’s AI-driven chemical simulation software program and NOVONIX’s Extremely-Excessive Precision Coulometry (UHPC) know-how and battery cell prototyping and testing capabilities. The businesses count on to make use of the ensuing fashions for information services and products within the first half of 2024.

As NOVONIX explains, predicting lithium-ion battery efficiency and degradation is very complicated—it should keep in mind many components, together with cell chemistry, temperature, cycle charge and operational voltage home windows, in addition to bodily cell design parameters. Presently, battery lifetime and efficiency assessments can take years for the mandatory analytical outcomes to drive cell and materials enhancements. Precisely predicting cell life utilizing short-term, high-throughput UHPC testing together with superior AI fashions might assist speed up product improvement and innovation for brand new battery chemistries.

“Collaborating with the scientists at NOVONIX to deploy machine studying algorithms and quantum simulations for battery R&D, we’ve got a chance for fast and substantial impression throughout utility areas in vitality storage,” stated Nadia Harhen, Common Supervisor of Simulation and Optimization at Sandbox AQ. “SandboxAQ’s predictive modeling applied sciences, paired with NOVONIX’s industry-leading experience, will rework the battery {industry}’s means to make knowledgeable choices round chemistries, processes, cells, and applied sciences at each stage of analysis and manufacturing.”

“SandboxAQ’s breakthrough AQ-powered software program has the chance to revolutionize battery R&D, optimizing discovery, design, and manufacturing of next-generation vitality storage merchandise,” stated Dr. Chris Burns, CEO of NOVONIX. “SandboxAQ’s perception and options will enable NOVONIX to unlock the complete potential from its UHPC merchandise and repair choices to drive actionable insights and higher outcomes throughout the battery worth chain.”
