Battery chemistries must achieve up to 2x energy density while improving safety, charging speed and sustainability. But developing a new formula is like pulling on a web where everything is connected. Material changes ripple across chemistry, thermal, mechanical and software domains, and siloed teams mean critical issues get caught too late.
What's holding battery formulators back
- Slow material screening: Extensive lab experiments delay breakthrough discoveries
- Fragmented teams: R&D, manufacturing and quality working in isolation, without real-time visibility
- Costly rework: Errors caught late in development drive up scrap, recalls and liability risk
What good looks like for battery formulators
- Faster material screening and formula iterations, without abandoning the "almost right" variations
- Cross-domain collaboration from molecule to manufacturing, with a single source of truth
- Virtual "what if" testing at scale, so the right formula is validated before physical production begins
Real results: Easpring
The Beijing-based lithium-ion battery material leader digitalized its formulation management and saw:
- 25% faster formulation development
- 18% lower R&D testing costs
- 15% reduction in material scrap
