Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Particulate composites underpin many solid-state chemical and electrochemical systems, where microstructural features such as multiphase boundaries and interparticle connections strongly influence system performance. Advances in X-ray microscopy enable capturing large-scale, multimodal images of these complex microstructures with unprecedentedly high throughput. However, harnessing these data sets to discover new physical insights and guide microstructure optimization remains a major challenge. Here, we develop a machine learning (ML)-enabled framework that enables automated transformation of experimental multimodal X-ray images of multiphase particulate composites into scalable, topology-aware graphs for extracting physical insights and establishing local microstructure–property relationships at both the particle and network level. Using the multiphase particulate cathode of solid-state lithium batteries as an example, our ML-enabled graph analysis corroborates the critical role of triple-phase junctions and concurrent ion/electron conduction channels in realizing desirable local electrochemical activity. Our work establishes graph-based microstructure representation as a powerful paradigm for bridging multimodal experimental imaging and functional understanding and facilitating microstructure-aware data-driven materials design in a broad range of particulate composites.
