Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of novel material preparation technology and digital manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to robot-assisted nanocrystal automatic characterization and accelerated intelligent reverse design of materials. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, both domestic and international research on digitally driven materials innovation has received significant attention. The advantages of integrating materials and artificial intelligence technologies are becoming increasingly apparent: efficiency and accuracy are improving [1-3]; dependence on computing resources is decreasing [4,5]; machine learning algorithms and self-training capabilities are being strengthened [6,7]; learning scales and databases are expanding [8,9]; and reverse engineering of functional materials is gradually maturing [1,10]. However, the lack of reliable experimental data and descriptors of specific properties has limited the development of artificial intelligence in the materials field. Currently, research focuses on combining first-principles computational data with machine learning (supplemented by experiments) [11-15]. Research on digital and intelligent material preparation, combining robotics / process automation with artificial intelligence, is gaining momentum [16-20].

[0003] The process of automated organic material preparation is a hot topic in current research: Li, Ballmer, et al.

[18] studied the fully automated preparation of 14 different organic small molecules, clarifying a feasible roadmap for the automated preparation of more general organic small molecules; Cronin et al.

[19] developed a machine learning-driven organic synthesis robot that can predict possible reactions after a small number of experiments. In the field of biomaterials, He Kai et al.

[21] developed an automated experimental platform for synthetic biology; Ager et al.

[22] combined automation and computer technology to develop a workstation for optimizing the performance of biocatalysts. In the field of inorganic materials research, Cooper et al.

[20] proposed the use of mobile robots to screen photocatalysts for water hydrogen production, focusing on the evaluation experiments of multiple catalyst formulas rather than the preparation of new materials.

[0004] However, the basic ideas of the above research mainly focus on the process automation and mobile robots of organic materials and biomaterials, but there are few reports on the programmable rational design methods of the entire process of mathematical models, databases and AI algorithms for material performance evaluation of nanocrystalline materials.

[0065] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention.

[0066] Example 1 Nanocrystal Amplification Experiment Decision

[0067] The preparation cost of noble metal nanocrystals is high. To save experimental costs, small-dose experiments are typically used to explore experimental conditions, followed by scale-up experiments. During the experimental process, the present inventors unexpectedly discovered that as the experimental dose was gradually increased, the LSPR value shifted. In other words, small-dose experiments could not fully guide scale-up experiments. The present inventors investigated this issue.

[0068] First, using a high-throughput platform, we conducted thousands of experimental explorations to build a nanogold material database, collecting 99 synthesis methods for gold nanorods with a target LSPR of 808±10nm. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1, corresponding to the content in the figure.

[0069] Table 1. Database of experimental parameters for synthesizing LSPR of 808 ± 10 nm gold nanorods (1 mL volume)

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] In Table 1, adjusting the CTAB concentration (C(CTAB)), chloroauric acid concentration (C(HAuCl4)), silver nitrate volume (V(AgNO3)), hydrochloric acid concentration (C(HCl)), and ascorbic acid concentration (C(AA)) parameters individually or simultaneously can all yield gold nanorods with an LSPR of 808±10 nm. In the database, chloroauric acid, as a reaction precursor, is reduced to Au(I) and ultimately Au(0) by the reducing agent AA. Lowering the chloroauric acid concentration or the reducing agent concentration can lead to reduced gold nanorod yield or low gold salt reduction recovery. Furthermore, CTAB, as a quaternary ammonium salt of a long-chain hydrocarbon group (molecular weight 364.46 g / mol), has high viscosity at high concentrations and is prone to crystallization at room temperature. Excessively high CTAB concentrations can also result in a slow reaction rate in the gold nanorod growth system. Therefore, from the numerous experimental schemes in the database, the most representative experimental condition combinations were selected as benchmark experiments. The three primary factors in the 1mL benchmark experiment—V(AgNO₃), C(CTAB), and C(HCl) at 10 μL, 0.1 M, and 1.0 M, respectively—served as the basis for subsequent optimization scheme adjustments. Minor factors in the benchmark scheme—C(HAuCl₄) at 0.01 M, V(seed) at 2.4 μL, and V(AA) at 8 μL—were not adjusted in the scale-up experiments because they affect product yield, gold salt reduction recovery, and reduce reaction rate. Scale-up validation and optimization were achieved by adjusting single, double, and triple factors. Representative experimental condition combinations are shown in Table 1. It is worth noting that adjustments to the benchmark experimental conditions were required to obtain the target LSPR gold nanorods.

[0074] Although many reaction conditions can obtain the target LSPR through experimental accumulation and conditions disclosed in existing technologies, further screening from a large number of reaction conditions is still needed to obtain more appropriate amplification experimental results.

[0075] To this end, the inventor designed a decision optimization disk, selecting single-factor, double-factor, and three-factor adjustment methods from the database and adjusting the experimental parameters of the basic solution within ±20% to form an optimized decision disk.

[0076] A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on the experimental results of the optimized disk, examining the degree to which the LSPR approaches 808 nm (the closer to 808 nm, the better), the full width at half maximum (FWHM) (the smaller the FWHM, the more uniform the aspect ratio of the nanorods), and the optical density (OD) ratio (when the LSPR is basically fixed, the higher the OD ratio, the lower the proportion of spherical and other non-rod-shaped gold nanoparticles, that is, the less impurity morphology in the reaction product and the higher the nanorod yield).

[0077] A typical decision optimization disk is shown in Table 2. In the benchmark experimental scheme, V(AgNO3), C(CTAB), and C(HCl) are 20μL, 0.1M, and 1.0M, respectively, which are the basis for adjustment of subsequent optimization schemes. C(HAuCl4) is 0.01M, Vseed is 4.8μL, and V(AA) is 16μL in the benchmark scheme, which are not adjusted here because they affect product yield, gold salt reduction recovery rate, and reduce reaction rate. On the basis of the benchmark experimental scheme, schemes by adjusting single factors (single variable), double factors (double variables), and three factors (three variables) were selected from the database, and extended experiments were added to adjust the experimental parameters within ±20%. Therefore, the database established through high-throughput experiments in 1mL reaction systems provides a reference and amplification guidance in 2mL reaction systems. The decision optimization disk designed in Table 2 can achieve the purpose of optimization by further adjusting the experimental parameters and conducting cyclic studies. The results of Table 2 are shown in Figure 1 The middle (right) image shows a comprehensive examination of LSPR, OD ratio, and FWHM values. Experiments 1, 4, 7, and 12 achieved an LSPR of 808 ± 10 nm. Experiment 7 had the highest OD ratio and the narrowest FWHM. Based on the OD ratio and FWHM, the optimal sample (i.e., Experiment 7) was identified and recommended for the final amplification step.

[0078] Table 2. Experimental decision disks and results for gold nanorods with a target LSPR of 808 ± 10 nm

[0079]

[0080] *Bold data are adjustments made to the benchmark experiment parameters. Due to the doubling of the reaction volume, the V(AgNO3) in the benchmark experiment in a 2 mL reaction system is twice that of the 1 mL database system, that is, 20 μL.

[0081] Three stages of amplification experiments were carried out in sequence, namely various plate amplification experiments on a robotic automation platform, amplification experiments on a magnetic stirrer, and pilot amplification experiments in a stirring container. First, the optimized 633, 780 and 808nm samples were experimentally studied on the robotic platform with 2mL, 4mL (6-well plate), 20mL and 40mL (single-well plate), respectively. During the amplification process, an unexpected discovery was that as the dose increased, the LSPR gradually red-shifted compared with the results on the 96-well plate, thus providing new insights into the exploration of amplification rules. Studying these data, it can be found that there is a linear relationship between the amplification of the dose and the distance of the red shift. The results are shown in Figure 4 From this result, we can see that the results of the scale-up experiment can be predicted by the results of the small-dose experiment, and the results of the scale-up experiment can be guided by adjusting the reaction conditions of the small-dose experiment.

[0082] In further scale-up experiments, in order to obtain nanocrystals with LSPR around 808 nm, the HCl concentration was reduced and experiments were conducted at 200 mL, 1 L, and 15 L volumes, respectively. The measured UV-Vis-NIR spectra are shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, their LSPRs are 806nm, 802nm, and 812nm, respectively. These values ​​fall within the target range, achieving good amplification.

[0083] Color conversion and digital processing of experimental results in Example 2.

[0084] For different gold nanocrystal morphology parameters (aspect ratio), in addition to using LSPR for evaluation, the present invention also innovatively uses color value (RGB) to identify the morphology of nanocrystals. Because color features are easy to obtain and identify, they are convenient for machine learning prediction and logical calculation. In this way, when mechanized electronic equipment is used for experiments, trained models can be used to process and digitally identify colors. Color features are expected to be easy to obtain and quickly respond to input logical morphology control, which is crucial for the controllable synthesis of target nanocrystals.

[0085] First, a batch of gold nanorod samples were obtained through different experimental methods, and the obtained samples were photographed using a color ultra-sensitive camera to obtain high-quality photos. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 .

[0086] The colors in the photographs were digitized to obtain color blocks and RGB data for each gold nanorod. The LSPR data corresponding to each sample was measured separately, and the RGB data and LSPR data were mapped one-to-one to form a training database. The LSPR-color correspondences from the experimental results and the LSPR data and color data calculated by the model are shown in Tables 2, 3, and 4.

[0095] The machine learning method is used to study the data in the training database to obtain the relationship between the LSPR value and the RGB value of the sample color. The LSPR data and color data (RGB) model is established and gradually optimized.

[0096] Table 5. Relationship model between LSPR data and color data (RGB)

[0097]

[0098] Through data collection from large-scale experiments, the present invention has discovered for the first time that the morphological characteristics of gold nanocrystals can be obtained by the RGB values ​​of the sample color of gold nanocrystals, which will help to quickly obtain the sample characteristics of the nanocrystals. The easy availability of the sample color RGB color makes the experimental verification method simpler and easier to obtain. At the same time, it also helps mechanized, electronic, and batch synthesis of nanocrystals, and provides a new option for the digitization of nanocrystals. The visualization of color data and LSPR data model, the results are shown in Figure 9 .
