Towards ML- and QML-Accelerated Discovery of Catalytic Materials and Mechanisms—A Progress Review
摘要
Our attempts to build somewhat realistic models of surface- and nano-catalysisNano-catalysis at finite temperature motivate this progress review. We are bringing in machine learningMachine Learning (ML) (ML), most notably active learningActive Learning (AL) (AL) to, ultimately, define the relevant reaction coordinates. We report progress made on a longer journey towards this goal, by using ALActive Learning (AL) for the global optimization of structures of nanocatalysts such as Ni-Ceria, including vacancies and interactions with water, on the one hand, and data-base searches for better materials for thermo-, electro- and photo-activated catalysis, on the other. Developed protocols and software, QMLMaterial, GAMaterial, MLChem4D, RLMaterial are featured. Initial forays into MLMachine Learning (ML) on quantum computers (QMLQuantum Machine Learning (QML) and QAL) are highlighted.
