Empowering Next-Generation AI-Driven Materials Innovation

Aixelo: Empowering Next-Generation AI-Driven Materials Innovation

What’s on the holiday wish list of every forward-thinking chemical and materials company? Right at top are significantly accelerated product development and enablement of groundbreaking innovation. And, yes, these are the same two things they hope for year-round and not just this time of year.

In keeping with the spirit of the holidays and every day, we at Aixelo make these wishes a reality by transitioning chemical and materials companies toward a more efficient and strategic R&D process through next-generation AI integration.

A just-published research paper in Science explains how. The article by Aixelo co-founder Prof. Pascal Friederich and our advisory board member, Prof. Christoph Brabec, vividly demonstrates the power of Aixelo’s mission: to accelerate materials discovery through next-gen AI. Their research shows how advanced machine learning approaches can streamline discovery of high-performance perovskite solar cell materials. By exploring a virtual library of 1 million candidate molecules, the team identified new materials capable of boosting solar cell efficiencies to over 26%. Achieving this with only around 150 experiments – not the so-yesterday thousands – is a testament to the power of AI-driven, closed-loop design strategies.

Key Takeaways:

• Accelerated Innovation: Novel AI strategies replace traditional trial-and-error approaches in materials discovery, enabling R&D teams to swiftly pinpoint optimal molecules and drastically shorten development timelines.
• Versatile Application: While this study zeroes in on perovskite solar cells, the underlying AI methodologies can be extended to a wide range of materials – from batteries to advanced semiconductors – and thereby broadening the scope of innovation.
• Strategic Advantage: Integrating these AI insights into Aixelo’s enterprise software empowers and, yes, emboldens our customers to modernize their R&D processes, inform data-driven decisions and gain a critical competitive edge in the global marketplace.

Looking Forward:

At Aixelo, our mission is to support R&D teams as they incorporate AI-driven methodologies into their workflows. Guided by such pioneering researchers as Profs. Friederich and Brabec, we’re delivering solutions that empower our customers to accelerate product development, increase efficiency and spark transformative innovation.

We at Aixelo strive on being a collaborative and indispensable partner for the chemical and materials industries – an asset to those in need of tools to create tomorrow’s advanced materials more rapidly and efficiently than ever before. Or to put it more seasonally, the gift of next-gen AI integration that keeps on giving.

Happy holidays from all of us at Aixelo!
