A Density-Matrix Framework for Electronic-Structure Analysis of Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries

The paper introduces EMolStudio, a density‑matrix‑centered AI platform that predicts and analyzes electronic structure for electrolyte molecules in lithium batteries. It integrates molecular functionalization, explicit Li⁺ first‑shell assembly, density‑matrix prediction, and electronic‑structure parsing, enabling systematic study of 163,655 functionalized molecules and 22,500 first‑shell clusters across four lithium salts. The analysis reveals that functional groups and anion identity distinctly influence frontier orbital energies, electrostatic potential, and Li⁺‑donor contacts, with LiTDI anchoring the highest occupied orbital on the anion.

A Hierarchical Synergistic Deep Learning Framework Integrating Composition, Structure, and Ionic Transport for Solid-State Electrolyte Discovery

The paper presents a hierarchical deep‑learning framework that integrates compositional, structural, and transport models to screen solid‑state electrolytes. Four modules—L‑G‑DCNN, DenseGNN, MatterSim, and DeePMD—coordinate to evaluate thermodynamics, multi‑property performance, and kinetic transport, outperforming existing methods. Applied to over 30 million candidates, the workflow identifies 97 high‑performance materials, mainly halides, and links Li⁺ jump‑network connectivity to ionic conductivity while highlighting limits for oxide electrolytes.

Coupled-cluster molecular properties across the main group that extrapolate beyond training size

The paper introduces MEHnet-MG, an equivariant neural network that predicts a one‑electron Hamiltonian from a single inexpensive B3LYP/def2‑SVP calculation and uses it to compute a wide range of molecular properties—energy, optical gap, dipole, quadrupole, polarizability, Mulliken charges, and Mayer bond orders—at coupled‑cluster accuracy for nine main‑group elements, including phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine. Trained on a new CCSD(T) dataset, the model reduces property errors by factors ranging from 3.8 to 230 compared to various DFT methods while adding only ~25 ms per molecule. Importantly, by deriving properties from a predicted Hamiltonian rather than pooling atomic features, the architecture naturally incorporates correct size‑scaling, enabling accurate extrapolation to large π‑conjugated systems (up to 58 atoms) where traditional pooling‑based models fail.

Prototype-guided transfer of sparse literature knowledge for electrolyte additive discovery

ProtoMI is a literature‑driven framework that learns structural priors from 126 reported boron‑containing electrolyte additives and applies them to screen 179,977 unlabeled candidates. Using graph contrastive learning, it identifies seven interpretable prototypes and adapts them through semi‑supervised contrastive learning, achieving enrichment factors of 9.2–45.6 while evaluating less than 2% of the candidate space. The method led to the discovery of four commercially accessible additives, including TNDB, which improves high‑temperature LiFePO4||graphite cycling by 34.93% and forms protective interphases that suppress solvent decomposition and Fe deposition.

Learning the Kohn-Sham map with neural operators for quasi-linear scaling density functional theory

The paper presents a neural operator that learns the Kohn–Sham map, directly predicting electron density from the Kohn–Sham potential without orbital diagonalization. Using a domain‑invariant SE(3)‑equivariant Fourier neural operator trained on 8,504 molecules and solids, the model achieves quasi‑linear scaling self‑consistent field (SCF) convergence across diverse systems—including organic molecules, insulators, and metals—while reproducing Kohn–Sham DFT accuracy for densities, spectra, and structural observables. This enables large‑scale simulations, such as magnesium dislocation densities with 82,500 valence electrons, on a single GPU.
