contents This study presents an iterative AI-guided workflow that accelerates graphite-based anode development by improving both formulation feasibility and process robustness. Sequential learning via AI/ML-guided multiobjective inverse design for anode optimization was implemented using the Citrine Platform. Starting from a noisy, incomplete dataset, the Citrine Platform was used to generate early surrogate models, which despite low predictive certainty highlighted missing process constraints. By iteratively adding feasibility labels and boundary condition failures, the workflow rapidly converged toward manufacturable, higher-performing formulations. Fabrication reliability improved from frequent process failures to 100% successful cell production, while the fraction of cells delivering $\geq$ 350 mAh g$^{-1}$ increased from 28.4% to 84.8%, with capacity retention rising from 42.1% to 97.3%. These results demonstrate that structured, feedback-driven AI workflows can transform imperfect industrial data into actionable guidance, enabling faster, more reproducible optimization of battery electrode manufacturing.
