The Advanced Electrolyte Model (AEM), developed by Idaho National Laboratory and exclusively distributed by Ridgetop Group, offers a cutting-edge molecular simulation tool for enhancing electrolyte chemistry optimization. Acting as an extensive toolkit, this virtual laboratory aids researchers in fine-tuning electrolyte properties, providing over 100 detailed metrics per run for superior insights into electrolyte behavior. Comprised of a comprehensive database with more than 50 solvents and 30 salts, AEM empowers users to explore vast combinations for optimized solutions within battery systems.
Meshing scientific rigor with groundbreaking applications, AEM employs the Nonprimitive, Nonrestricted Associated Mean Spherical Approximation augmented by an ion-solvation equation of state. This combination ensures predictions are closely aligned with laboratory data, typically deviating by merely 5-10%. This high level of accuracy has positioned AEM as an essential tool for global transition efforts from fossil fuel reliance, facilitating advances in electric vehicle adoption and grid-scale battery deployments. Through AEM, scientists receive unparalleled clarity and certainty in qualifying electrolytes, driving forward the clean energy revolution.
With the capability to rapidly screen a wide range of materials, AEM is indispensable in expediting the development of new battery designs, curtailing time-to-market and drastically cutting laboratory costs. By efficiently bridging the gap between molecular theory and practical applications, AEM revolutionizes how energy is stored and utilized globally, all the while charting the course for a sustainable energy future.
