The Problem

From 15 Tabs to One Question

Modern materials research demands jumping between literature databases, property repositories, simulation tools, and analysis software — each with its own interface, format, and workflow.

Hours of context-switching. Data trapped in incompatible formats. Manual copy-paste from paper tables to spreadsheets. Critical insights lost between tools.

material.codes connects your entire research stack into a single, AI-powered workflow.

Traceable by Design

Every Answer Traceable to Its Source

In R&D, an answer is only as trustworthy as the sources behind it. material.codes keeps the full chain visible — from raw measurement to final recommendation.

Built for teams that need to show where a decision came from — for internal review, IP defensibility, and regulatory scrutiny.

Source Links

Every property value links to its source database and measurement method.

Cited Answers

Every AI answer cites the primary sources it drew from.

Audit Trail

Exportable audit trail for compliance review.

Research Scenarios

Built for Real Research Questions

From high-throughput screening to targeted property engineering — see how material.codes handles complex research workflows.

Battery Material Screening

Identify promising Li-ion cathode candidates from first-principles data with application-specific voltage and capacity constraints.

"Find layered oxide cathodes with average voltage > 3.8V, capacity > 180 mAh/g, and thermal stability above 200°C"
  • Queries Materials Project + AFLOW for matching compositions
  • Cross-references electrochemical data from literature
  • Ranks candidates by synthesizability scores
  • Exports structures for DFT geometry relaxation

Top Result

LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811)

V̄ = 3.86V 199 mAh/g Td = 215°C

Pipeline Steps

Literature search (847 papers)
Materials DB query (23 candidates)
DFT validation (in queue)

Semiconductor Band Engineering

Design alloy compositions to hit target band gaps for photovoltaic and LED applications using high-throughput DFT screening.

"InGaN alloys with direct bandgap between 2.6 and 3.0 eV for blue LED emission, lattice-matched to GaN substrate"
  • Retrieves composition-property relationships from AFLOW
  • Applies Vegard's law interpolation with bowing corrections
  • Generates band structure plots from existing calculations
  • Flags lattice mismatch strain for selected compositions

Optimal Composition

In0.18Ga0.82N

Eₐ = 2.77 eV Direct gap Δa/a = 0.8%

Screening Results

Compositions screened: 156
Within bandgap range: 23
Lattice-matched (<1%): 8

Catalyst Surface Analysis

Identify active sites, compute adsorption energies, and screen surface terminations for heterogeneous catalysis applications.

"CO2 reduction on Cu surfaces — compare (100), (110), (111) facets for formate vs CO selectivity"
  • Constructs surface slabs from bulk structure
  • Computes surface energies and identifies stable terminations
  • Submits NEB calculations for reaction barriers
  • Correlates results with selectivity trends from literature

Recommended Facet

Cu(100) — formate pathway

ΔEₐₐ = -0.42 eV Ea = 0.67 eV

Adsorption Energies (eV)

Cu(100)-0.42 (HCOO*)
Cu(110)-0.31 (CO*)
Cu(111)-0.19 (CO*)
