[0051] S11. Obtain the first configuration parameters of the substrate of the active nanoparticles and the molecular structure of the modifying group; wherein, the first configuration parameters include the type of substrate, the particle diameter of the substrate, the first number of modification sites of the substrate and the type of default group of the substrate, one molecular structure corresponds to one second configuration parameter, the second configuration parameters include the type of modifying group and the second number of connection sites of the modifying group, the second number is equal to the first number.

[0052] In some examples, the substrate of the active nanoparticles can be any of the following: silicon-containing nanoparticles such as nano-silicon monomers or nano-silica, or carbon-containing nanoparticles such as nano-graphite or carbon nanotubes. The first number depends on the number of unsaturated atoms in the outermost layer of the active nanoparticles. The default group type can be set to any of hydroxyl, methyl, or amino groups, or a specific default group can be entered by using the International Chemical Identifier (InChI) method. The difference between the first number of modification sites and the third number of default groups is the number of modifiable modification sites on the substrate of the active nanoparticles.

[0053] In some examples, the structure of the modifying group is input in the form of InChI method or PDB format, and different spatial coordinates are created for the modifying group according to the second number of linkage sites of the modifying group, and the information of the linkage sites of the modifying group is stored in the set of modifying groups.

[0054] In some examples, the connection site is determined by a specific atom specified by the user.

[0055] S12. Based on the substrate type, particle diameter, and second number, determine the third number of default groups.

[0056] In some examples, when determining the third number of default groups based on the substrate type, particle diameter, and second number, the maximum number of default groups can be determined based on the substrate type and particle diameter; the third number of default groups can be determined based on the difference between the maximum number and the second number.

[0057] The maximum number of default functional groups is determined based on the substrate type (which can be crystalline or amorphous) and particle diameter, including:

[0058] (1) Based on the type of substrate, identify the core basic unit of the active nanoparticle substrate. For example, the basic unit of silica nanoparticles is the silica unit cell (crystal), and the basic unit of carbon nanoparticles is the carbon tetrahedral structure (amorphous). Taking the silica unit cell as an example ( Figure 2 The unit cell of silicon dioxide consists of 8 silicon atoms at the vertices, 6 silicon atoms at the face centers, and 4 silicon atoms and 16 oxygen atoms forming 4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra uniformly staggered inside the unit cell. The unit cell of silicon dioxide has a length of 0.5 nm, a width of 0.54 nm, and a height of 0.86 nm.

[0059] (2) Based on the particle diameter r of the substrate of the required active nanoparticles, construct a spherical boundary with radius r with the set origin as the center o, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0060] (3) Place the silicon dioxide unit cell in, for example Figure 3 The spherical boundaries shown are stacked according to the growth direction until the spherical boundaries are filled with silicon dioxide unit cells, forming a structure like... Figure 4 The cross-sectional view shown in (a) is as follows: atoms (either oxygen or silicon atoms) inside and on the edge of the spherical boundary are retained, while atoms outside the spherical boundary are removed, forming the cross-section shown in the figure. Figure 4 The cross-sectional view shown in (b) is shown in the figure; the final result is as follows: Figure 4 (c) shows a three-dimensional view of the substrate containing active nanoparticles without default and modified groups.

[0061] (4) Count the number of unsaturated bonds on the surface of active nanoparticles that do not contain functional groups. This number is the maximum number of default functional groups.

[0062] S13. Generate a substrate of active nanoparticles according to the third quantity and the first configuration parameters.

[0063] S14. Generate a modified structure containing a second number of molecular structures according to the second number.

[0064] In some examples, the modified structure consists of the spatial coordinates of each atom in the molecular structure of a second number of modifying groups.

[0065] S15. Perform preset operations on the modified structure to obtain the processed modified structure; wherein, the preset operations include coordinate transformation processing and chemical bond addition processing;

[0066] S16. Connect the linking sites in the modified structure to the modification sites on the substrate of the active nanoparticles to obtain the molecular model of the active nanoparticles.

[0067] S17. Based on the force field parameters of the chemical environment corresponding to the molecular model, determine the charge carried by each atom in the molecular model;

[0068] S18. Based on the atomic coordinates of each atom, the charge carried by each atom, and the force field parameters in the molecular model, the molecular model is relaxed to obtain active nanoparticles.

[0069] For example, using sulfonated active nano-silica particles as an example, the process includes the following steps:

[0070] D1. Substrate Setting and Input: Set the substrate type of the active nanoparticles to silicon dioxide crystal, the particle diameter to 2 nm, the first number of modification sites to 56, the default group type to hydroxyl (composed of 1 oxygen atom and 1 hydrogen atom), and the default third number of groups to 41. The resulting active nanoparticle substrate is as follows. Figure 5 As shown.

[0071] D2. Setting and Inputting Modifying Groups: Set the type of modifying group to sulfonate, and the molecular structure of the modifying group is as follows: Figure 6 As shown (including 3 carbon atoms 4 (C1 represents the first carbon atom, C2 represents the second carbon atom, and C3 represents the third carbon atom), 6 hydrogen atoms 3, 1 sulfur atom 5, and 3 oxygen atoms 1), the linking site of the modifying group is set to C1, and the second number of linking sites of the modifying group is 15, through the... Figure 6 The replication and coordinate transformation were performed to form a set of 15 sulfonyl modified groups.

[0072] D3. Constructing a molecular model of active nanoparticles: The coordinates of the 15 sulfonyl groups were transformed as a whole. The distance d between the linking site C1 and the unsaturated silicon atoms on the substrate was controlled to 0.18 nm, the O-Si-C bond angle was controlled to 110°, and the dihedral angles formed by the three oxygen atoms on the silicon atom and the modifying group were determined. For example, the angle between the plane formed by the first oxygen atom on the silicon atom, the silicon atom of the modifying group (Si-carbon atom C1), and the plane formed by the Si-C1-C2 points was 35°; the angle between the plane formed by the second oxygen atom on the silicon atom, the Si-C1 points of the modifying group, and the plane formed by the Si-C1-C2 points was -80°; and the angle between the plane formed by the third oxygen atom on the silicon atom, the Si-carbon atom of the modifying group, and the plane formed by the Si-C1-C2 points was 160°. This yielded the modified sulfonyl active nanoparticles, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0073] D4. Construct the charge carried by each atom in the molecular model of the active nanoparticle. For example, assume that the active nanoparticle exists in an aqueous environment, assign force field parameters to the active nanoparticle according to the GAFF force field rules, and thus obtain the charge carried by each atom in the molecular model of the active nanoparticle.

[0074] D5. Generation of active nanoparticles: Based on the atomic coordinates of each atom, the charge carried by each atom, and the force field parameters in the molecular model, the molecular model is relaxed to obtain active nanoparticles.

[0075] The method for generating active nanoparticles provided in this disclosure allows researchers to set first configuration parameters for the substrate of the active nanoparticles to be studied, and second configuration parameters for the molecular structure of the modifying groups to be synthesized on the substrate. Then, by executing the electronic device provided in this disclosure, active nanoparticles can be generated based on the set first and second configuration parameters. Since researchers do not need to synthesize active nanoparticles through chemical synthesis, but instead synthesize them themselves through electronic devices, the synthesis time for active nanoparticles is shortened, thereby improving the research and development efficiency of active nanoparticles.

[0076] In some feasible examples, combining Figure 1 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the method for generating active nanoparticles provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S19.

[0077] S19. The active nanoparticles are placed in the target environment for simulation to obtain the performance indicators of the active nanoparticles; wherein, the target environment includes any one of the aqueous phase, oil phase and solid phase, and the performance indicators include any one of water dispersibility, oil-water interfacial tension and oil washing efficiency.

[0078] In some examples, molecular simulation programs can be used to calculate the performance metrics of active nanoparticles when they are placed in a target environment. Molecular simulation software and computational chemistry software inherently possess related technologies. Examples of molecular simulation software include GROMACS, a molecular dynamics package for studying biomolecular systems, and LAMMPS, an open-source molecular simulation software package. Computational chemistry software such as Gaussian can conveniently calculate the charge distribution of molecules.

[0079] In some examples, the method for generating active nanoparticles provided in this disclosure uses three molecular simulation systems to evaluate the performance indicators of the active nanoparticles, such as... Figure 9 The dispersion evaluation system shown, Figure 10 The interface tension evaluation system shown and Figure 11 The washing efficiency evaluation system shown uses the molecular simulation software GROMACS to calculate the efficiency of active nanoparticles placed in a specific environment. Figure 9 The image shows the potential energy changes of two active nanoparticles, 2 and 3, when they approach each other in aqueous phase 1. Simultaneously, calculations using the molecular simulation software GROMACS were performed to place the active nanoparticles into a... Figure 10 The diagram shows the interfacial tensions between the first and second interfaces after the active nanoparticles 2 or 3 in the oil phase 1 are adsorbed at the first interface corresponding to the oil phase and the second interface corresponding to the water phase. Simultaneously, calculations using the molecular simulation software GROMACS are performed to place the active nanoparticles into... Figure 11 The number of active nanoparticles 2 or 3 passing through the oil-containing nanopores in the solid phase 5 shown is illustrated. This allows us to obtain the potential energy change during the approach of the active nanoparticles, the interfacial tension between the oil and water phases, and the oil washing efficiency within the nanopores.

[0080] In some examples, the method for generating active nanoparticles provided in this disclosure also improves the dispersibility, interfacial tension, and oil washing efficiency of the nanoparticle substrate under unmodified active group conditions, such as... Figure 12 As shown in (a), the horizontal axis represents the intermolecular distance (in nanometers, nm), and the vertical axis represents the intermolecular potential energy (in kilocalories per mole, kcal / mol). It can be seen that for the same intermolecular distance, the potential energy of unmodified active nanoparticles is greater than that of sulfonated active nanoparticles; as... Figure 12 As shown in (b), the horizontal axis represents simulation time (in picoseconds per second), and the vertical axis represents interfacial tension (in millinewtons per meter, mN / m). It can be seen that for the same simulation time, the interfacial tension of unmodified active nanoparticles is greater than that of sulfonated active nanoparticles; Figure 12As shown in (c), the horizontal axis represents the type of nanoparticle and the vertical axis represents the oil displacement efficiency. It can be seen that the oil displacement efficiency of unmodified active nanoparticles is less than that of active nanoparticles modified with sulfonyl groups. It is evident that after modifying the active groups, the dispersibility, interfacial tension, and oil washing efficiency of nanoparticles are improved to a certain extent. This method can provide researchers with an intuitive and rapid way to evaluate active nanoparticles modified with specific groups.

[0081] In some feasible examples, combining Figure 1 ,like Figure 13 As shown, the above S12 can be implemented by the following S120 and S121.

[0085] In some feasible examples, combining Figure 1 ,like Figure 14 As shown, the above S13 can be implemented by the following S130 and S131.

[0086] S130. Generate target particles according to the particle diameter of the substrate and the first number of modification sites on the substrate.

[0087] In some examples, after obtaining the particle diameter of the substrate, atoms of that particle diameter are created, and a first number of modification sites are created on those atoms to obtain the target particle.

[0088] S131. Connect the default group to the modification site of the target particle to form a substrate of active nanoparticles.

[0089] In some feasible examples, combining Figure 1 ,like Figure 15 As shown, the above S14 can be implemented by the following S140 and S141.

[0090] S140. Add chemical bonds between the two atoms connected in the modified structure to obtain the modified structure with added chemical bonds;

[0091] S141. Perform coordinate transformation on the atomic coordinates of each atom in the modified structure with added chemical bonds to obtain the modified structure after processing. The distance between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure is equal to the bond length of the chemical bond between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure; the bond angle between adjacent atoms between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure is equal to the bond angle of the chemical bond between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure; and the dihedral angle between adjacent atoms between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure is equal to the dihedral angle of the chemical bond between the linking site and the modified site of the active nanoparticle substrate in the modified structure.

[0092] In some feasible examples, combining Figure 8 ,like Figure 16 As shown, the above S19 can be specifically implemented through the following S190-S192.

[0093] S190. The active nanoparticles are placed in the aqueous phase for simulation. The potential energy change value corresponding to the approach of two active nanoparticles is determined, and the potential energy change value is used as the water dispersibility of the active nanoparticles.

[0094] In some examples, the potential energy change when two active nanoparticles approach each other is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the first potential energy between the two active nanoparticles when they are at a first distance in the aqueous phase and the second potential energy between them when they are at a second distance in the aqueous phase. The first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0095] S191. The active nanoparticles are placed in the oil phase for simulation. The interfacial tensions of the first and second interfaces after the active nanoparticles are adsorbed at the first interface of the oil phase and the second interface of the water phase are determined, and the interfacial tensions are taken as the oil-water interfacial tensions of the active nanoparticles.

[0096] S192. The active nanoparticles are placed in the solid phase for simulation to determine the number of nanopores through which the active nanoparticles pass, and the number of nanopores is used as the oil washing efficiency of the active nanoparticles.

[0097] In some examples, the oil washing efficiency is equal to 1 - the ratio of the interaction energy between the oil phase and the solid phase after the active nanoparticles have passed through to the interaction energy between the oil phase and the solid phase in the initial state.

[0098] In some feasible examples, a type of modification group corresponds to an international compound identifier, or a type of modification group corresponds to a protein data bank format.
