Rethinking catalysis: interpretable AI and description of real-world conditions <i>via</i> materials genes
Descriptors link basic physicochemical parameters that characterize the materials and the environment to the catalytic performance. Traditionally, descriptors are rooted in mechanistic understanding of elementary surface reactions gained from surface science and atomistic simulations on well-defined surfaces and under vacuum. However, real-world catalysis operates under elevated pressures and temperatures, where an intricate interplay of multiple physical processes, including significant materials' restructuring…
An interpretable SISSO symbolic-regression AI approach identified materials genes, including d-band center and particle diameter, that statistically describe selectivity of supported palladium-based alloy nanoparticles during hydrogenation of concentrated acetylene streams under elevated pressure and temperature.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1129 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
