Machine learning accelerating innovative researches on energy and environmental catalysts
Journal Title: Energy Environmental Protection - Year 2023, Vol 37, Issue 3
Abstract
Under the "dual carbon" background, the development of high-performance energy and environmental catalysis materials is of great significance for promoting energy clean transformation and environmental pollution control. The traditional research and development mode of catalysts mainly relies on experimental and trial-and-error methods, which to a large extent cannot meet the research and development needs of efficient catalysts in emerging energy and environmental fields. The rapid development of data science technologies such as machine learning is expected to bring about a paradigm shift in catalyst research and development. By using machine learning methods to quickly screen high-performance energy and environmental catalysis materials using experimental or computational data, the limitations of traditional trial-and-error methods could be overcome, and the problem of low efficiency and high cost in catalyst research and development could be solved. This article reviewed the main processes and research progress of machine learning methods in the development of energy and environmental catalysis materials from the perspective of active-sites prediction,catalysts screening, morphology design and reaction mechanism revelation, and the ML methods construction corresponding to various training data acquisition and their applications in the catalytic research. We also discussed the future direction of this method in the catalysis field, in order to provide perspective and promote its application in the energy and environmental fields.

Efficient degradation of common dyes by the combination of UV-LED and periodate
To address the issue that dyes are recalcitrant to hydrolysis and conventional water treatment strategies, an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED)/periodate (PI) advanced oxidation process was developed for dye remo...
Catalytic purification of nitrogen oxides for complex industrial flue gas
Nitrogen oxides, as one of the main atmospheric pollutants, cause potential risks to human health and the atmospheric environment. In recent years, nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants have been reduced, and contro...
Study on neurotoxic effects of microplastics and triclosan on the zebrafish
Zebrafish was chosen as a model organism to explore the neurotoxic effects of combined exposure to three microplastics (PP, PE, PVC) and triclosan (TCS). The results showed that microplastics (MPs) could be used as the c...
Present situation and prospect of anaerobic digestion to transform organic wastes to bio-natural gas
Anaerobic digestion, which could transform organic wastes to biological natural gas, emerged from the discovery of biogas. It is drawing mounting attention due to its pollution treatment and energy recovery. The realizat...
An improved droop control method for wind-PV-storage DC microgrids
In the wind-photovoltaic (PV)-storage DC microgrid, the use of droop control ensures the proportional power sharing between parallel power sources without the need for communication between the sources. However, the trad...
