For over 12 years, C4V has been cataloguing the deep electrochemical, structural, and chemical identity of every critical battery material. This reference library is the foundation upon which all Digital DNA™ intelligence is built.
Just as human genomics encodes heritable traits that determine health and disease susceptibility, every battery material carries an electrochemical fingerprint — a unique combination of crystal structure, composition, defect density, particle morphology, and surface chemistry — that determines how it will behave throughout its life.
C4V's Material Genomics approach captures this fingerprint at characterisation and links it forward through every downstream process — so when a battery fails in the field three years later, we can trace it back to the specific material batch that was the root cause.
Continuous electrochemical signature spectrum
Every major cathode chemistry, anode material, electrolyte system and separator type — genomically fingerprinted and continuously updated.
High energy density cathode family. Fingerprints cover Ni-rich gradient compositions, single-crystal morphologies and Co-free variants.
Safety-dominant chemistry for BESS and commercial EV. Genomics tracks carbon coating uniformity, particle size distribution and Fe-site defects.
High-power applications with Al stabilisation. Fingerprints capture Al distribution homogeneity and cation-disordered surface layers.
Primary commercial anode. Genomics covers crystallinity, particle shape, BET surface area and first-cycle irreversible capacity mapping.
Next-gen anode for energy density improvement. Genomics tracks Si content, volume expansion and SEI stability markers.
LiPF₆-based formulations. Fingerprints cover ionic conductivity, decomposition pathways and additive efficacy signatures.
PP/PE membranes. Genomics captures porosity, tortuosity, thermal shrinkage onset and coating adhesion quality.
Emerging chemistry for stationary storage. Fingerprint library being built for Prussian blue analogues and layered oxide cathodes.
