High-Throughput Screening of Li Solid-State Electrolytes With Bond Valence Methods and Graph Neural Networks

Li-based solid-state electrolyte (Li-SSE) materials enable safer, all-solid-state batteries but the computational search for candidates with favorable stability and Li-ion conductivity is challenging due to the size of the search space and the cost of evaluating transport properties with ab initio methods. We present a high-throughput screening approach for Li-SSE materials using a combination of bond-valence methods and graph neural networks. We demonstrate the screening approach with a dataset containing tens of thousands of Li-containing compounds. Furthermore, we combine the machine-learning screening procedure with an isovalent substitution scheme to generate and screen additional Li SSE candidates beyond existing databases. Finally, we discuss relative importances of geometric and bond-valence quantities in the training of graph neural networks, providing insight for future modeling of ionic conductivity in Li-SSE materials.

Hierarchical screening for Li-based solid electrolytes using fast, interpretable machine-learned potentials

Li-based solid-state electrolyte materials enable safer, all-solid-state batteries but the computational search for candidates with favorable stability and Li-ion conductivity is challenging due to the size of the search space and the cost of evaluating transport properties with ab initio methods. The prohibitive cost of high-throughput screening with DFT has lead to the development of surrogate models using geometric analysis, empirical potentials, and descriptors for ionic transport. Here, I will discuss a hierarchical screening approach for identifying promising materials using a combination of density functional theory, bond-valence methods, and machine learning potentials generated with the Ultra-Fast Force Fields (UF3) framework. We show how the inexpensive bond-valence method can be used to guide the generation of training samples for machine learning, in addition to filtering candidates. Finally, we apply the hierarchical workflow to screen for ionic conductivity across a database of Li-containing compounds.
