Solution Overview

Problem

The development of positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries is hindered by the lack of sufficient data, particularly in acquiring structure information, which limits the application of artificial intelligence in this field.

Innovation Solution

A device, method, and program that utilize two AI models to acquire feature data for material composition and structure information. The first AI model outputs feature data for composition information, while the second AI model outputs feature data for structure information, with the processor configured to learn and adjust these models based on each other's output to enhance their association and similarity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If artificial intelligence is used to analyze battery materials, then research speed and efficiency are improved, but the application is limited by insufficient data availability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresearch speedVSAvoiddata availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of structural information through AI-generated feature data. The first AI model learns to output feature data that replicates the characteristics of the second AI model's structural feature data, enabling composition-based prediction without requiring actual structural information or extensive experimental data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The first AI model acts as an intermediary that translates composition information into structural feature representations. It learns the mapping between composition and structure through training on the second AI model's outputs, bridging the gap between available composition data and required structural information for material analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If structure information is used for material analysis, then prediction accuracy is improved, but data acquisition difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata acquisition difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of directly using difficult-to-acquire structural information, the system creates a copy of its essential features through the first AI model's output. The learned feature data replicates the predictive power of structural information while being derived from easily obtainable composition data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/experimental process of obtaining structural information with an AI-based computational approach. The first AI model substitutes physical measurement and analysis with learned patterns from training data, eliminating the need for complex structural characterization experiments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
