IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Hofmeister Ion-Specific 3D-Printed Porous Energy Storage Electrodes

PROBLEM: Printed porous electrodes for supercapacitors or batteries cycle in electrolytes where Hofmeister ordering shapes ion hydration and transport through the architected network. The same printed pore design can transport ions well in one electrolyte and poorly in another, yet electrode records often separate the pore design from the electrolyte that was actually used.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would preserve versioned copies of Hofmeister-aware printed electrodes, each tied to its pore architecture, functionalisation, electrolyte ion-series context, DFT predictions, cycling evidence, and regeneration accounting. Later designs could be compared against the exact preserved copy that was measured.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Hofmeister / ion-specific effects; Source: 1888 series, modern molecular basis. DFT is Hohenberg–Kohn 1964 and Kohn–Sham 1965, Nobel 1998; biosorption surface binding R−COOH + M2+ ⇌ R−COOM+ + H+ and isotherms qe = (C0 − Ce)V/m are textbook DOCUMENTED. 3D-printed porous scaffolds provide architected pore networks, print-then-functionalize.
