Data-driven exploration of weak coordination microenvironment in solid-state electrolyte for safe and energy-dense batteries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The unsatisfactory ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes hinders their practical use as substitutes for liquid electrolytes to address safety concerns. Although various plasticizers have been introduced to improve lithium-ion conduction kinetics, the lack of microenvironment understanding impedes the rational design of high-performance polymer electrolytes. Here, we design a class of Hofmann complexes that offer continuous two-dimensional lithium-ion conduction channels with functional ligands, creating highly conductive electrolytes. Assisting with unsupervised learning, we use Climbing Image-Nudged Elastic Band simulations to screen lithium-ion conductors and screen out five potential candidates that elucidate the impact of lithium coordination environment on conduction behavior. By adjusting the covalency competition between Metal−O and Li−O bonds within Hofmann complexes, we can manipulate weak coordination environment of lithium-ion for rapid conduction kinetics. Li | |sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) cell using solid-state polymer electrolytes with predicted Co(dimethylformamide)2Ni(CN)4 delivers an initial discharge capacity of 1264 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention of 65% after 500 cycles at 0.2 C (335 mA g−1), at 30 °C ± 3 °C. The assembled 0.6 Ah Li | |SPAN pouch cell delivers an areal discharge capacity of 3.8 mAh cm−2 at the second cycle with a solid electrolyte areal mass loading of 18.6 mg cm−2 (mass-to-capacity ratio of 4.9). The lack of microenvironment understanding results in unsatisfactory conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes. Here, authors report a data-driven exploration of weak coordination manipulation by plasticizer design for safe and energy-dense batteries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
