Materials Project, a collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), is a free website that provides users with access to a number of tools for searching and analyzing materials based on their various properties. Users can register for the site through an existing OpenID account (Google, Facebook, Yahoo, or OpenID), and the free account gives users unlimited access to all Materials Project tools, the ability to view up to 500 search results, and the option to view a history of your searches and analyses.[1]
Tools available on Materials Project include:[2]
- Moogle - Moogle is a smart information finder that will interpret what you want based on various keywords. If no keywords are entered, Moogle will perform a materials search by formula or elements.[3]
- Materials Explorer - Search the Materials Project database. Customize your search for materials information by chemistry, composition, or property.
- Phase Diagram App - Computational phase diagrams for closed and open systems with 2-4 components. Find thermodynamically stable phases, study decomposition pathways and more.
- Lithium Battery Explorer - Find candidate materials for lithium batteries. Get voltage profiles and oxygen evolution data.
- Reaction Calculator - Calculate the enthalpy of tens of thousands of reactions and compare with experimental values.
- Structure Predictor - Predict new compounds using data-mined substitution algorithms.
- Crystal Toolkit - Convert between CIF and VASP input files. Generate new crystals from known ones, substituting or removing species as desired.
