2. 2
Materials and their properties decide what is
technologically possible
Example: Electric vehicles and solar power are two
technologies that have been dreamed about for many
decades that are finally starting to see large-scale adoption.
Most of the “waiting” has been for materials improvements!
3. What constrains traditional approaches to materials design?

“[The Chevrel] discovery resulted from a lot of
unsuccessful experiments of Mg ions insertion
into well-known hosts for Li+ ions insertion, as
well as from the thorough literature analysis
concerning the possibility of divalent ions
intercalation into inorganic materials.”
-Aurbach group, on discovery of Chevrel cathode
for multivalent (e.g., Mg2+) batteries
Levi, Levi, Chasid, Aurbach
J. Electroceramics (2009)
4. Density functional theory (DFT) can model properties of
materials from first principles

• 1920s: The Schrödinger equation for quantum mechanics essentially contains
all of chemistry embedded within it
• it is almost always too complicated to solve due to the numerous electron
interactions and complexity of the wave function entity
• 1960s: DFT is developed and reframes the problem for ground state
properties of the system to separate interactions and written in terms of the
charge density, not wavefunction
• makes solutions tractable while in principle not sacrificing accuracy for
the ground state!
