(Press-News.org)

Large language models, outstanding representatives of modern technology, have significant impacts on various fields of modern society. These models, constructed by billions of neurons, incorporate the extensive knowledge accumulated by humans so far, possessing the exceptional abilities to chat with people around the world fluently. Their human-like intelligence enables them to tackle various challenges of modern society and shows great potential for applications in various fields.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Ziyun Wang from the University of Auckland in New Zealand delved into the potential applications of large language models in the field of electrocatalysis. This Perspective aims to elucidate how these AI-driven models help researchers deepen their understanding of catalysis and advance intelligent catalyst design. The work first examined the limitations of traditional experimental methods and multi-scale simulation approaches, such as high resource consumption, slow progress, and the constraints of human capabilities. The study then highlighted the significant advantages of large language models in electrocatalysis research. These models can transcend human cognitive limits and theoretically accumulate unlimited knowledge. Despite their enormous potential, challenges such as balancing generalization and domain specificity, and text limitations remain. To address these challenges, the paper introduced the development of multimodal large language models and their specific applications in electrocatalysis research. These applications include direct interaction with experimenters, continuous optimization based on experimental feedback, fine-tuning of pre-trained models, and multimodal data integration with visual encoders.

The paper emphasized the vast potential of multimodal large language models in areas such as spectral analysis, experimental pathway design, transition state search, molecular structure design, catalyst optimization, and problem diagnosis. In summary, multimodal approaches hold broad application prospects in catalysis, integrating various data sources to provide powerful tools and technical support for catalyst design, reaction mechanism research, and optimization of reaction conditions. This work also discussed large language models' role and future development trends in scientific research. While these models have demonstrated outstanding capabilities in knowledge accumulation, they may still fall short in creating new knowledge compared to scientists. Large language models should be deeply integrated with experimental and simulation methods to enhance their predictive power and multimodal learning capabilities. Such integration will enable large language models to more comprehensively assist researchers, thereby accelerating the development of scientific research. This development trend not only helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of scientific research but also brings more innovation and breakthroughs to the scientific community. The paper was published in the Chinese Journal of Catalysis (https://doi.org/10.1016/S1872-2067(23)64612-1).

Bound-state electrons synergy over photochromic high-crystalline C₃N₅ nanosheets in enhancing charge separation for photocatalytic H₂ production
2024-06-11
Photocatalytic water splitting, a sustainable energy strategy, utilizes solar energy to produce clean hydrogen fuel. While it offers a promising solution to the global energy crisis and environmental pollution, the slow kinetics of photogenerated electron-hole pairs result in low activity for most semiconductor materials, even with sacrificial agents. To that end, integrating electron traps and reactive centers could be a feasible strategy to enhance charge separation and catalytic performance. In ...

Engagement key to eliminating prejudice: Uncovering the process of feeling understood

Engagement key to eliminating prejudice: Uncovering the process of feeling understood
2024-06-11
Osaka, Japan - A research group at Osaka University has uncovered how the view of other people and groups changes when individuals feel that they are understood by others by conducting an experimental study on the relationship between Japanese and Chinese people. The study shows that the role of felt understanding largely derives from a reduction in prejudice toward the other person. Feeling understood by other people is a crucial determinant for positive interpersonal and intergroup relationships; however, the psychology behind this determinant was not well understood. In ...

1 in 7 adults have experienced someone threaten to share their intimate images: new research

2024-06-11
A global study on the prevalence of sexual extortion among adults has found the issue to be more widespread than initially thought.  Sexual extortion, or sextortion, is a form of image-based sexual abuse which includes making threats to share intimate photos or videos of a victim unless they comply with the perpetrator’s behavioral or financial demands.  The research, led by RMIT University in partnership with Google, surveyed over 16,000 adults across Australia, North and Central America, Europe and Asia and found 14.5% of respondents reported being victims of sextortion, while 4.8% admitted to being perpetrators.  LGBTQ+ ...
