A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Battery & Energy Materials R&D

REACTOR is used by battery and energy materials scientists across electrode chemistry, electrolyte systems, solid-state development, beyond-lithium chemistries, separators, and battery recycling. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own protocols, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.

For Battery & Energy Materials Scientists

Battery R&D moves across electrode design, electrolyte chemistry, interface science, and emerging chemistries.

A typical project covers active material selection, electrolyte formulation, interface and SEI chemistry, cycling performance, and increasingly, recycling and circularity. Each step pulls on peer-reviewed literature, supplier specifications, characterization data, and the team's own electrochemical results.

The slow part is reasoning across that surface while keeping the chemistry context coherent. Holding active chemistry, electrolyte behavior, and interface stability together as a project moves between different material systems and benchmark conditions.

REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for this work. It reasons across battery and energy materials chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space.

Notable Divisions

Where REACTOR Fits Across Batteries & Energy Materials

Battery and energy materials R&D spans a broad chemistry surface. Each sub-area has its own reasoning challenges, and each benefits from a chemistry-native intelligence layer.

Electrode Chemistry (Cathode & Anode)

Layered oxides, polyanions, silicon, hard carbon, and lithium metal each present distinct chemistry and design constraints. REACTOR reasons across active material chemistry, electrochemical behavior, and degradation pathways, drawing on peer-reviewed literature and substance databases.

Electrolyte Chemistry

Carbonate-based, ether-based, ionic-liquid, and emerging electrolyte chemistries each have distinct conductivity, stability, and interface profiles. REACTOR supports side-by-side comparison of electrolyte systems and additive packages.

Solid-State Battery Chemistry

Sulfide, oxide, polymer, and hybrid solid electrolytes each have specific chemistry challenges around interface, processing, and manufacturability. REACTOR reasons across solid-state literature, surfacing structure-property considerations.

Beyond-Lithium Chemistries

Sodium-ion, zinc, magnesium, and flow battery chemistries are moving fast. REACTOR pulls relevant literature on emerging chemistries, electrolyte development, and electrode design, with grounded references.

Battery Separators & Membranes

Polyolefin separators, ceramic-coated separators, ion-exchange membranes, and emerging materials each interact with electrochemistry in nuanced ways. REACTOR reasons across separator chemistry and performance data.

Battery Recycling Chemistry

Pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and direct recycling approaches each carry distinct chemistry challenges and economics. REACTOR reasons across recycling literature, leaching chemistry, and recovery pathways, captured for cross-project reuse.

What This Looks Like in Batteries & Energy Materials

Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.

Discover · Analyze

Evaluating a New Cathode Material

A battery chemist evaluating a new high-nickel cathode chemistry interrogates the literature on structural stability and SEI formation alongside the team's own cycling data. REACTOR reasons across degradation pathways, with source references on extracted claims.

Analyze · Capture

Comparing Electrolyte Additive Packages

A senior electrochemist comparing electrolyte additive packages uploads supplier data sheets and recent literature on SEI chemistry. REACTOR reasons across additive systems, with the analysis captured as a reusable Resource.

Analyze · Reuse

Investigating Solid-State Interface Behavior

An R&D lead investigating interface resistance in a solid-state cell uploads characterization data and adjacent literature. REACTOR surfaces relevant interface chemistry and prior-art context, attached to the Research Space.

Discover · Capture

Forking Reasoning on Two Recycling Routes

A battery materials chemist forks a reasoning thread to evaluate hydrometallurgical and direct recycling routes for a specific cell chemistry. Both lines stay live in the Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately.

Beyond Chemistry Literature

Web Research Inside REACTOR

REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Battery and energy materials scientists use it to evaluate raw-material suppliers, compare electrode and electrolyte vendors, track market and regulatory shifts, and access current industry intelligence from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.
