2022 Advanced Energy Materials  
At the core of inventing the batteries of the future lies the discovery of high-performance materials and components that enable the creation of batteries with higher energy and power. BATTERY 2030+ advocates the development of a battery Materials Acceleration Platform (MAP) [16] to reinvent the way we perform battery materials research today. We will achieve this by creating an autonomous, "self-driving" laboratory for the accelerated discovery and optimization of battery materials,

This can be done by combining powerful approaches from high-throughput automated synthesis and characterization, materials and interface simulations, autonomous data analysis and data mining, as well as Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Interfaces in batteries are arguably the least understood, even though most of the critical battery reactions occur there, such as charge transfer reactions, dendrite formation, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, and cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) formation. Building on MAP, BATTERY 2030+ proposes to develop the Batteries Interface Genome (BIG) that will establish a new basis for understanding the interfacial processes that govern the operation and functioning of every battery. The accelerated design of battery materials requires the detailed understanding and tailoring of the mechanisms governing interface formation and evolution. This involves
