Rational design of acid stable oxide catalysts for OER with OC22
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
Abstract
The efficiency of H_2 production via water electrolysis is typically
limited to the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As such, significant
emphasis has been placed upon improving the rate of OER through the anode
catalyst. More recently, the Open Catalyst 2022 (OC22) has provided a large
dataset of density functional theory (DFT) calculations for OER intermediates
on the surfaces of oxides. When coupled with state-of-the-art graph neural
network models, total energy predictions can be achieved with a mean absolute
error as low as of 0.22 eV. In this work, we interpolated a database of the
total energy predictions for all slabs and OER surface intermediates for 4,119
oxide materialas in the original OC22 dataset using pre-trained models from the
OC22 framework. This database includes all terminations of all facets up to a
maximum Miller index of 1 with adsorption configurations for O^* and OH^*.
To demonstrate the full utility of this database, we constructed a flexible
screening framework to identify viable candidate anode catalysts under a bulk
and nanoscale regime for OER by assessing the price, thermodynamic stability,
and resistance to corrosion, surface stability, and overpotential. Finally we
verified the overpotentials and reaction energies of the final candidate
catalysts using DFT. From our assessment, we were able to identify 48 and 69
viable candidates for OER under the bulk and nanoscale regime respectively.
