# Tutorial

In this section, we present several ways to navigate through the Battery Explorer.

The Battery Explorer app allows users to filter candidate battery materials using chemical formula/composition, as well as properties such as maximum volume change, average voltage, capacity, stability etc.

In each individual page for a battery material, the user can find information regarding the material such as calculated properties, voltage curve, oxygen evolution graph and a visulization of the host material.

#### 1. [Go to Materials Project - Battery Explorer](https://materialsproject.org/batteries)

#### 2. Search the chemical formula of interest

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.materialsproject.org/apps/explorer-apps/battery-explorer/tutorial.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
