Bridging Theory and Experiment: Machine Learning Potential‐Driven Insights into pH‐Dependent CO₂ Reduction on Sn‐Based Catalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning potential (MLP) enables large‐scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, uncovering dynamic surface reconstruction of SnO₂ and SnS₂ under CO₂ reduction reaction condition. The negative dipole moments upon *OCHO adsorption are the primary factors driving the leftward shift of the volcano plot.
