Launching the Discovery Benchmark Dataset for AI-Driven Battery Research

We are excited to announce the release of the Discovery Benchmark Dataset, developed at DIGIBAT and now available on Zenodo.

The open-access dataset includes ~250 lithium-ion coin cells fabricated using automated assembly platforms at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. Designed with FAIR principles and powered by the BattINFO ontology, it connects materials characterisation, electrode data, and electrochemical performance into a complete, AI-ready digital workflow.

This work highlights how automation, data infrastructure, and AI can come together to accelerate battery research and materials discovery.

We thank all contributors and project leads for making this milestone possible, and invite you to explore the dataset and learn more about the future of automated, data-driven research.
