Key Points

  • The research explores how reaction mechanisms determine activity volcano maps in dual-atom catalysts.
  • Analyzed dual-atom catalysts with various center atoms including transition metals.
  • Utilized theoretical simulations combined with interpretable machine learning.
  • Investigated activity volcano maps by extending previous experimental data.
  • Identified that reaction mechanisms in dual-atom catalysts differ from single-atom catalysts.
  • Showed the potential for rational design of catalysts for reactions beyond oxygen reduction.
  • Demonstrated that old experimental data can reveal new phenomena when analyzed with large data scales.

Abstract

dissociation → 2OH protonation → OH protonation), which can be extended across DACs containing transition metal, metal-like, and non-metal elements as center atoms. It opens a brand-new perspective for rational design of DACs and atomically dispersed catalysts for other reactions beyond ORR, of which the dominant reaction mechanism may be different from single-atom catalysts (SACs) and lead to diverse activity volcano maps. Most importantly, this work illustrates that new phenomenon can be identified from "old experimental data" under a large data scale, with the help of theoretical simulations integrated with interpretable ML.
