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.

PCET Quantum-Tunneling Atomic Layer Deposition for Energy Storage Electrodes

PROBLEM: ALD-coated electrodes can use a thin oxide to protect a biosorbent-derived active layer, but the oxide also mediates the proton-coupled electron step that stores charge. If tunneling carries part of that step in the cold, the electrode's behaviour will diverge from a model that treats the oxide as a passive barrier. Teams need a durable record of which oxide recipe was tested under which thermal conditions.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would keep versioned copies of PCET ALD electrode designs, preserving each oxide recipe, test temperature range, and cycling record as a separate governed copy. When a recipe is revised, the earlier copy would remain available for comparison, so low-temperature tunneling effects can be attributed to a specific build. It manages design copies, not electrode capacity.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Proton-coupled electron transfer moves protons and electrons together, with tunneling at low temperature; DFT (Kohn–Sham) predicts binding at surface groups; biosorption validation uses Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Source: Hohenberg–Kohn 1964; Kohn–Sham 1965; Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1998.
