Designing next-generation battery materials requires more than traditional experimentation. From chemistry to performance, every layer of the cell is shaped by molecular-level interactions, and understanding those early is key to accelerating innovation.
Model smarter, scale faster: Unlock battery breakthroughs with predictive chemistry
In this webinar, discover how Simcenter Culgi helps battery manufacturers and researchers model, test, and optimize battery material formulations virtually. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how multiscale simulation bridges molecular, cell and electrode behavior, enabling more predictive, efficient development processes.
You’ll learn how to:
- Reduce trial-and-error testing by simulating material behavior early in design
- Understand interactions at molecular and mesoscale levels using advanced modeling
- Streamline parameterization with automated charge and structure calculations
- Apply predictive chemistry to optimize electrodes, electrolytes and cell components
This session is ideal for battery material scientists, computational chemists and R&D engineers focused on shortening development cycles, improving performance and accelerating innovation in battery materials.
