Check out our latest work on Selective formation of metastable polymorphs in solid-state synthesis | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… We introduce a framework that uses both reaction energy and surface energy for effective polymorph selection. @NJSzymanski @cedergroup

Congrats to @NJSzymanski and Pragnay Nevatia! Autonomous inorganic synthesis is challenging, but here is one important step forward.
Our method to automate the optimization of solid-state synthesis is out now in @NatureComms! It uses DFT data but also learns from experiments to find the best precursors for a given material. We hope this can help guide future autonomous platforms 🤖 😃 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Combining experiments and theories, we rationalized how compositional disorder in high-entropy materials can create a percolating network for fast ion transport that benefits solid-state batteries . @ScienceMagazine @Bin_Ouyang_CMS @cedergroup #batteries science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
