Step 1 Gachon University & Korea University AI-based battery electrolyte design
Step 2 Surge in AI + materials research papers
Step 3 Automated experimental condition extraction tool for materials Startups' AI papers

Problem

R&D researchers at next-generation battery and materials Startups (5–20 employees) need to read 50–100 AI + materials-related papers per week, but experimental conditions (electrolyte composition, temperature, cycle count, performance metrics) are described in different formats across papers, making comparison impossible. Each researcher spends over 10 hours per week extracting experimental conditions, and when missing conditions cause reproduction experiments to fail, millions of won (~$750–$3,750) in reagent and equipment costs are wasted.

Solution

Upload battery/materials research PDFs and an LLM automatically extracts experimental conditions (composition, temperature, pressure, cycle count) and performance metrics (capacity, charge/discharge efficiency, lifespan) into structured tables. The extracted data is organized into a standardized format for cross-paper comparison and merged with in-house experimental data to support optimal condition discovery.
