Optimization of Lubricant Performance | QuantistryLab Viscosity Simulations
July 23, 2024
In industrial applications, lubricants are key to the performance of a wide range of equipment. These chemicals can reduce the wear and tear of machinery and improve their efficiency by reducing friction between surfaces.
Viscosity is one of the most important properties of a lubricant, since it is directly related to the behavior and performance of the lubricant in the application of choice. This property is mainly determined by the lubricant’s chemical composition and the conditions of temperature and pressure it is under.
Therefore, the development of novel lubricants requires studying their viscosity under a range of different conditions that represent the needs of the target industrial application.

Optimization of Electrolyte Formulation for Battery Materials | QuantistryLab Viscosity Simulations
Optimizing electrolyte formulations is essential for the development of high-performance batteries. This use case explores how the QuantistryLab platform enables users to simulate and predict the viscosity of an electrolyte formulation.
Surface Adsorption of Additives
The interaction of the lubricant components with metallic or oxidized surfaces plays a fundamental role in the formation of a protective film. Atomistic simulations provide in-depth insights into the adsorption of additives on the surfaces, their binding mode and binding strength.
Electrode materials with optimal open circuit voltages (OCVs)
The energy density of a battery cell largely depends on the materials used, making the search for optimal material compositions an important aspect of battery R&D.
