Combining AI and automation towards the prediction of crystal structure landscapes

May 27, 2021

Discovery of crystal structures is often a challenging and time consuming process. The combination of crystal structure prediction (CSP) with high-throughput (HT) crystallization screening methods greatly accelerates the identification and selection of structures with desirable physical properties. While CSP provides valuable insights into a molecule's structural preferences, HT rapidly evaluates hundreds of different crystallisation conditions. Such protocols have for example been used to search for polymorphs of interest. Prof. Andrew Cooper from the Materials Innovation Factory and University of Liverpool describes the state-of-the-art derived from their most recent works on the subject.

Prof. Andrew Cooper is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was awarded the Hughes Medal in 2019.

Artificial intelligence-driven autonomous laboratory for accelerating chemical discovery

Autonomous laboratories, also known as self-driving labs, have emerged as a powerful strategy to accelerate chemical discovery. By highly integrating different key parts including artificial intelligence (AI), robotic experimentation systems and automation technologies into a continuous closed-loop cycle, autonomous laboratories can efficiently conduct scientific experiments with minimal human intervention.

Stable acidic oxygen-evolving catalyst discovery through mixed accelerations

Ruthenium oxides (RuOx) are promising alternatives to iridium catalysts for the oxygen-evolution reaction in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis but lack stability in acid. Alloying with other elements can improve stability and performance but enlarges the search space.
