Aionics

Aionics is an AI Materials Discovery company founded in 2020 and based in Palo Alto, United States.

Aionics is a Palo Alto company founded in 2020 by Stanford PhDs, led by CEO Austin Sendek and chief scientist Venkat Viswanathan, pairing AI, quantum simulation, and proprietary data to design custom high-performance materials. In June 2025 it launched its Artificial Molecular Intelligence (AMI) platform for real-time, autonomous formulation screening, beginning with battery electrolytes and extending to other chemical formulations for EV, aviation, grid-storage, and electronics applications. The company has licensed battery-electrolyte design software from academic partners and drawn grant support from agencies including DOE ARPA-E.

Aionics targets the electrolyte-formulation bottleneck that gates next-generation battery performance, a high-value, slow-to-iterate corner of materials R&D.
