面向光伏、固态电池和氢能存储的先进聚合物研发,受限于数据生态系统分散,无法捕捉材料的多层次复杂性。聚合物科学缺乏互操作数据库,依赖零散文献和历史记录,普遍存在格式非结构化、测试方法不可复现等问题,阻碍机器学习应用并延缓关键材料发现。三大系统性障碍包括:学术与工业数据孤岛导致专有数据难以获取,学术论文常遗漏合成细节;测试方法不统一影响跨研究比较;现有数据库元数据不全,制约机器学习模型训练。新兴方案通过技术与协作创新应对:自然语言处理工具从数十年文献中提取结构化数据,高通量机器人平台实现自主实验生成一致数据集。核心是采用适配聚合物本体论的FAIR原则,确保数据可机器读取与复现。未来突破依赖开放科学文化转变,由去中心化数据市场与自主实验室融合实时机器学习验证推动。通过技术创新、协同治理与伦理管理,聚合物领域可将数据瓶颈转化为加速器。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The pursuit of advanced polymers for energy technologies, spanning photovoltaics, solid-state batteries, and hydrogen storage, is hindered by fragmented data ecosystems that fail to capture the hierarchical complexity of these materials. Polymer science lacks interoperable databases, forcing reliance on disconnected literature and legacy records riddled with unstructured formats and irreproducible testing protocols. This fragmentation stifles machine learning (ML) applications and delays the discovery of materials critical for global decarbonization. Three systemic barriers compound the challenge. First, academic-industrial data silos restrict access to proprietary industrial datasets, while academic publications often omit critical synthesis details. Second, inconsistent testing methods undermine cross-study comparability. Third, incomplete metadata in existing databases limits their utility for training reliable ML models. Emerging solutions address these gaps through technological and collaborative innovation. Natural language processing (NLP) tools extract structured polymer data from decades of literature, while high-throughput robotic platforms generate self-consistent datasets via autonomous experimentation. Central to these advances is the adoption of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles, adapted to polymer-specific ontologies, ensuring machine-readability and reproducibility. Future breakthroughs hinge on cultural shifts toward open science, accelerated by decentralized data markets and autonomous laboratories that merge robotic experimentation with real-time ML validation. By addressing data fragmentation through technological innovation, collaborative governance, and ethical stewardship, the polymer community can transform bottlenecks into accelerants.
