Optimizing Next-generation Manufacturing Processes

Argonne is developing new materials critical to next-generation chemical catalysis, solar energy, battery technology and more.

Argonne National Laboratory is a national leader in the scaleup and commercialization of complex materials through a scientific approach to process innovation. In manufacturing R&D, the quality of the solution relates to the inputs in a complicated manner. Argonne researchers leverage an AI technique called Bayesian optimization to find settings with the best performance in processes such as atomic layer deposition and flame spray synthesis. This allows us to quickly develop new materials critical to next-generation chemical catalysis, solar energy, battery technology and more, all of which support a secure energy future.
