Cover Picture: Autonomous Discovery of Materials for Intercalation Electrodes (Batteries & Supercaps 6/2020)

The Front Cover illustrates an autonomous workflow, implemented in the framework of Density Functional Theory, designed to automatically calculate crucial properties for battery intercalation electrodes, including thermodynamic and mechanical stability, open circuit voltages (OCV), as well as kinetic barriers. Applied here to identify cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries, this workflow enables an accelerated discovery of intercalation battery electrodes. More information can be found in the Article by J. M. Garcia-Lastra, I. E. Castelli and co-workers.
