The screening will be based on optimized scale-specific models and machine learning methods to find the best candidates of organic active materials for the planned application. The candidates with the best electrochemical performance will be synthesized and characterized, and the obtained experimental data on the material and battery system properties will be used to validate and optimize the battery twins.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8367c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d8367c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rfb-predictor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Research_bild01.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-401\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rfb-predictor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Research_bild01.png 834w, https:\/\/www.rfb-predictor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Research_bild01-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rfb-predictor.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Research_bild01-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 834px) 100vw, 834px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-398ea2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"398ea2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Frutiger LT Com 45 Light',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: #D5EA6C; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\">Experimental high-throughput methods<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Frutiger LT Com 45 Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"> will use the results of computational high-throughput screening and enable demonstration of new battery types based on syntheses and automated electrolyte characterization and fabrication, as well as automated battery testing.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Frutiger LT Com 45 Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\">PREDICTOR aims to expedite material <b>synthesis through high-throughput methods<\/b>, focusing on organic active materials for RFBs. This involves developing efficient procedures for late-stage functional group modification and scaffold building. Prior knowledge exploration through deep literature mining will inform high-throughput screening hypotheses. Experimental procedures, carried out <b>robotically<\/b> or in <b>droplet flow format<\/b>, will include characterization via UPLC and inline NMR. Another focus is the automated synthesis of metal complexes. Promising compounds identified through computational screening will be synthesized for testing, encompassing variations in conducting salts, acids, and additives.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Frutiger LT Com 45 Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\">Next, <b>electrolytes<\/b> with different types and concentrations of conducting salts, acids and additives will be <b>produced and analysed fully automatically<\/b>.

Data management covers the handling of the large amount of data acquired, which will be generated by all procedures, but used differently. In particular, experimental data are needed to optimise and validate models and simulations to improve future results. For this purpose, the data-generating devices will be coupled to a newly developed PREDICTOR database, allowing automatic, real-time storage of the data. This in turn will allow optimisation of the experiments and reduce steps. The database will also make the data available according to the FAIR principles (findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability), including a corresponding ontology. <\/span><\/p><div style=\"mso-element: para-border-div; border: none; border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; padding: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm;\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .75pt; padding: 0cm; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm;\"><span lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"font-family: 'Frutiger LT Com 45 Light',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\">Finally, the entire process will be <b>demonstrated<\/b>, showing that the development of novel batteries can be accelerated on the basis of serial\/iterative linkage using high-speed methods.
