Autonomous heterogeneous catalyst discovery with a self-evolving multi-agent digital twin

arXiv:2606. 05050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Theoretical heterogeneous catalysis promises rapid catalyst discovery, yet computational and machine-learning predictions often deviate from experiment and stay confined to narrow material families, for want of a faithful, condition-aware catalytic simulator.

AdsMind: A Physics-Grounded Multi-Agent System for Self-Correcting Discovery of Adsorption Configurations on Heterogeneous Catalyst Surfaces

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.

Toward Controllable Catalyst Inverse Design via Large-Scale Autoregressive Pretraining

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.

CatRetriever: Contrastive Representation Learning for Slab-to-Bulk Retrieval in Generative Catalyst Discovery

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.

Data-knowledge dual-driven intelligent framework for full-chain, experiment-efficient synthesis of 2D dendrites

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.

AutoDFT: A Closed-Loop Multi-Agent Framework for Autonomous DFT Calculations

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.
