Proton Conductivity

Proton conductivity, the ability of materials to transport protons (H+), is a crucial property for various applications, including fuel cells and neuromorphic computing. Current research focuses on improving the prediction and optimization of proton conductivity, particularly in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and battery electrolytes, employing machine learning techniques like transformer-based models and geometric deep learning to accelerate materials discovery and design. These advancements are driven by the need for more efficient energy storage and conversion technologies and the development of advanced computing architectures, with robotic experimentation playing an increasingly important role in optimizing material properties.
