Presented by Dr. Siwen Wang
Catalysis is the cornerstone of the modern chemical industry. Catalysts not only convert natural resources into the products that we use in our daily lives, but they also reduce unwanted reactions and increase process efficiency. Catalysts minimize the energy penalty of reactions and maximize selectivity for desired products. In this webinar we will describe some of the ways that MedeA can be used to understand reaction mechanisms, and discuss the incorporation of machine learning techniques to accelerate catalyst understanding and discovery. Webinar topics include:
Exploring reaction pathways with MedeA tools
Calculating surface strain effects for core-shell nanoparticles
Quantifying alloy effects on catalysts
Studying biopolymer interaction effects on catalysts
Operating potential effect on the stability of electro-catalysts
Screening of bimetallic materials using high-throughput
Analyzing the electronic structure of adsorbates on catalysts
Applying Bayesian learning approaches to predict site reactivity
