Discovery of novel Li SSE and anode coatings using interpretable machine learning and high-throughput multi-property screening

Abstract All-solid-state batteries with Li metal anode can address the safety issues surrounding traditional Li-ion batteries as well as the demand for higher energy densities. However, the development of solid electrolytes and protective anode coatings possessing high ionic conductivity and good st...
