The Energy Storage Materials Initiative is pioneering an innovative “digital twin” approach that could radically redefine the research and development process for energy storage materials. A digital twin is a digital replica of a physical battery. Data from simulated or actual experiments can be seamlessly exchanged between the physical and digital worlds. With a digital twin, researchers can integrate data at different scales, enabling them to quickly scale-up a very tiny battery to larger, commercially relevant sizes far more efficiently.
