This project aims to gather thermodynamic data and use this information to help other Critical Materials Innovation Hub projects solve processing-related problems. Very frequently, a process's thermodynamic analysis can reduce the time required to solve a problem and provide a more complete understanding of the process. The thermodynamics team will build on its critically evaluated databank by providing simulations and expanding its database. These efforts enable CMI researchers to have realistic process modeling to create better experimental designs for solving process-related problems.
