Born-Qualified: An Autonomous Framework for Deploying Advanced Energy and Electronic Materials

Autonomous science is transforming how we discover materials and chemical systems for advanced energy technologies. However, many initially promising systems never reach deployment. This "valley of death" stems from optimization that prioritizes laboratory metrics over industrial viability. We propose a new strategy: "born-qualified" autonomous development, which embeds manufacturability, cost, and durability constraints from the outset. This approach is enabled by four pillars, including the development of multi-objective metrics, causal models, a modular infrastructure, and embedding manufacturing in the discovery loop. Realizing this vision will require sustained, community-wide commitment, but the potential return on that investment is commensurate with the scale of the challenge.

Ternary Wide Band Gap Oxides for High-Power Electronics Identified Computationally

As electricity grids become more renewable energy-compliant, there will be a need for novel semiconductors that can withstand high power, high voltage, and high temperatures. Wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors tend to exhibit large breakdown field, allowing high operating voltages. Currently explored WBG materials for power electronics are costly (GaN), difficult to synthesize as high-quality single crystals (SiC) and at scale (diamond, BN), have low thermal conductivity ($β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$), or cannot be suitably doped (AlN). We conduct a computational search for novel semiconductors across 1,340 known metal-oxides using first-principles calculations and existing transport models. We calculate the Baliga figure of merit (BFOM) and lattice thermal conductivity ($κ_L$) to identify top candidates for n-type power electronics. We find 40 mostly ternary oxides that have higher $κ_L$ than $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ and higher n-type BFOM than SiC and GaN. Among these, several material classes emerge, including 2-2-7 stoichiometry thortveitites and pyrochlores, II-IV spinels, and calcite-type borates. Within these classes, we propose In$_2$Ge$_2$O$_7$, Mg$_2$GeO$_4$, and InBO$_3$ as they are the most favorable for n-type doping based on our preliminary evaluation and could be grown as single crystals or thin film heterostructures. These materials could help advance power electronic devices for the future grid.
