Identifying the lowest-energy surface-adsorbate configuration is critical for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, yet exhaustive exploration with ab initio calculations is computationally prohibitive. Machine-learning force fields (MLFFs) accelerate structural relaxation but leave the search over the vast configurational space a major bottleneck, and open-loop large language model (LLM) agents lack a physics-grounded feedback mechanism to correct erroneous initial guesses.
arXiv:2606. 17445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design of heterogeneous catalysts remains challenging because catalyst surfaces exhibit substantial structural complexity with coupled surface-adsorbate interactions across a vast chemical space that is difficult to explore efficiently through conventional screening alone.

arXiv:2607. 11712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design is an emerging data-driven paradigm for efficiently navigating vast chemical spaces to discover new materials with targeted properties, and in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, surface generative models have recently advanced this goal by directly generating catalyst surface-adsorbate structures.

arXiv:2603. 16959v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Exemplified by the chemical vapor deposition growth of two-dimensional dendrites, which has potential applications in catalysis and presents a parameter-intensive, data-scarce and reaction process-complex model problem, we devise a machine intelligence-empowered framework for the full chain support of material synthesis, encompassing rapid process optimization, accurate customized synthesis, and comprehensive mechanism deciphering.

arXiv:2605. 26179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) serves as the basis for computational discovery in materials science and chemistry, yet each calculation demands extensive human effort: adjusting algorithms when convergence stalls, revising plans when unexpected physics emerges, and inserting steps as intermediate results reshape the problem.

arXiv:2607. 24272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The vast chemical design space and complex, interdependent design variables make catalyst discovery for targeted properties highly labor- and resource-intensive.
By Hayoung Doo, Dong Hyeon Mok, Seoin Back, Jonggeol Na
The vast chemical design space and complex, interdependent design variables make catalyst discovery for targeted properties highly labor- and resource-intensive. Although generative models have emerged as a promising solution, existing approaches are generally limited to single-property conditioning or narrow chemical spaces.
arXiv:2606. 29459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) requires searching a combinatorially vast space where property labels are expensive and most machine-learning models reveal little about why a structure succeeds.
