  Abstract

  We present a new open repository for chemical reactions on catalytic surfaces, available at https://www.catalysis-hub.org . The featured database for surface reactions contains more than 100,000 chemisorption and reaction energies obtained from electronic structure calculations, and is continuously being updated with new datasets. In addition to providing quantum-mechanical results for a broad range of reactions and surfaces from different publications, the database features a systematic, large-scale study of chemical adsorption and hydrogenation on bimetallic alloy surfaces. The database contains reaction specific information, such as the surface composition and reaction energy for each reaction, as well as the surface geometries andcalculational parameters, essential for data reproducibility. By providing direct access via the web-interface as well as a Python API, we seek to accelerate the discovery of catalytic materials for sustainable energy applications by enabling researchers to efficiently use the data as a basis for new calculations and model generation.

  Abstract

  A comprehensive database of chemical properties on a vast set of transition metal surfaces has the potential to accelerate the discovery of novel catalytic materials for energy and industrial applications. In this data descriptor, we present such an extensive study of chemisorption properties of important adsorbates - e.g., C, O, N, H, S, CHx, OH, NH, and SH - on 2,035 bimetallic alloy surfaces in 5 different stoichiometric ratios, i.e., 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. To our knowledge, it is the first systematic study to compile the adsorption properties of such a well-defined, large chemical space of catalytic interest. We propose that a collection of catalytic properties of this magnitude can assist with the development of machine learning enabled surrogate models in theoretical catalysis research to design robust catalysts with high activity for challenging chemical transformations. This database is made publicly available through the platform www.Catalysis-hub.org for easy retrieval of the data for further scientific analysis.

  Abstract

  We present a methodology for graph based enumeration of surfaces and unique chemical adsorption structures bonded to those surfaces. Utilizing the graph produced from a bulk structure, we create a unique graph representation for any general slab cleave and further extend that representation to include a large variety of catalytically relevant adsorbed molecules. We also demonstrate simple geometric procedures to generate 3D initial guesses of these enumerated structures. While generally useful for generating a wide variety of structures used in computational surface science and heterogeneous catalysis, these techniques are also key to facilitating an informatics approach to the high-throughput search for more effective catalysts.
