ROBHY
Autonomous materials research ROBot for Development for HYdrogen technologies
In recent years, original approaches have been developed to accelerate the development of new materials. Autonomous research involves the use of materials discovery robots including automated synthesis, structural and functional properties characterization modules, and using AI models for the choice of areas to explore. The proposed approach makes it possible to explore complex multidimensional spaces in order to generate knowledge and optimize the composition of materials without any human intervention. In this field of research, Europe is far behind the United States and China. Within DIADEM, our ambition was to develop an autonomous research platform to explore material composition spaces for low energy applications: smart windows, smart sensors, low-power lighting and electronic systems.
In this project, we extend the possibilities of the original setup by introducing new potential applications: low and high-temperature electrochemical cells, photocatalysis for hydrogen production, thermophosphors for hydrogen combustion.
