Materials research in the Information Age (MIT)
New materials are crucial to building a clean energy economy — for everything
from batteries to photovoltaics to lighter weight vehicles — but today the
development cycle is too slow: around 18 years from conception to
commercialization. To speed up this process, a team of researchers from the
Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)
and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology teamed up to develop a new
computational tool. Called the Materials Project, it launched this month.
“First-principles calculations have reached the point of accuracy where many
materials properties, relevant for photovoltaics, batteries and
thermoelectrics, can be reliably predicted,” says Gerbrand Ceder, an MIT
professor of materials science and engineering and founder of the Materials
Project.
A better battery — one that is cheaper and has more power and energy while
being safe — could finally make possible the dream of an electric vehicle
reaching performance and cost parity with a gasoline-powered car. But beyond
batteries, novel materials could transform a host of other industries, from
food packaging to buildings. For example, the Materials Project is working
with several entities interested in making stronger, corrosion-resistant,
lightweight aluminum alloys, which could make possible lighter vehicles and
airplanes.
