Machine Learning‐Driven Prediction and Optimization of Cu‐Based Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol

Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
A machine‐learning framework integrating multimodel prediction, feature selection, and SHAP interpretability is developed to uncover structure–performance relationships of Cu‐based CO2‐to‐methanol catalysts. The optimized XGBoost model and an online prediction platform enable accurate selectivity prediction and data‐driven catalyst design.
