机器学习辅助密度泛函理论优化PtPd基高熵合金析氢催化性能

摘要: 高熵合金(HEAs)因其多组分及其协同效应已成为析氢反应(HER)的潜在催化剂。本研究采用机器学习加速的密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,评估了PtPd基系列HEAs(PtPdXYZ,X、Y、Z = Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Ru、Rh、Ag、Au)的催化性能。在筛选的56种HEA(111)表面中,PtPdRuCoNi(111)吸附能(Eads)介于–0.50至–0.60 eV之间,–1.85 eV 的高d带中心,表现出优异的活性。其表面的氢吸附自由能(ΔGH*)为–0.03 eV,优于Pt(111)表面,实现了吸附与脱附之间的更优平衡。机器学习模型,尤其是极端梯度提升回归(XGBR),在保持高精度(均方根误差0.128 eV)的同时显著降低了计算成本。结果表明,HEA在高效和可持续的氢气生产方面具有巨大潜力。

 

Machine learning-accelerated density functional theory optimization of PtPd-based high-entropy alloys for hydrogen evolution catalysis

Abstract: High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their compositional diversity and synergistic effects. In this study, machine learning-accelerated density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to assess the catalytic performance of PtPd-based HEAs with the formula PtPdXYZ (X, Y, Z = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Ag, Au; X ≠ Y ≠ Z). Among 56 screened HEA(111) surfaces, PtPdRuCoNi(111) was identified as the most promising, with adsorption energies (Eads) between −0.50 and −0.60 eV and high d-band center of −1.85 eV, indicating enhanced activity. This surface showed the hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG_\mathrmH^^* ) of −0.03 eV for hydrogen adsorption, outperforming Pt(111) by achieving a better balance between adsorption and desorption. Machine learning models, particularly extreme gradient boosting regression (XGBR), significantly reduced computational costs while maintaining high accuracy (root-mean-square error, RMSE = 0.128 eV). These results demonstrate the potential of HEAs for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production.
