Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to an intelligent design method for ionic liquids oriented to extreme high-temperature lubrication requirements. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of technologies in high-end equipment manufacturing, aerospace, and nuclear clean energy, critical equipment often faces extremely high temperatures, placing higher demands on the lubrication and thermal stability of lubricants. Traditional solid lubricants, when exposed to long-term high temperatures, can cause irreparable wear on mechanical workpieces. Molecular liquid lubricants, when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, are susceptible to thermal decomposition, leading to lubrication failure and severely impacting the stable operation and service life of equipment.
[0003] Ionic liquids, room-temperature molten salts composed of anions and cations, are ideal lubricants for extreme operating conditions due to their excellent lubrication properties, load-bearing capacity, wide temperature range, and unique designability. Especially in extreme high-temperature lubrication scenarios, ionic liquids exhibit excellent properties such as strong thermal stability, long-term stable lubrication performance, and low friction coefficient, offering broad application potential for extremely high-temperature mechanical operating conditions.
[0004] However, despite the significant performance potential of ionic liquids, rapid screening for ionic liquids that combine strong thermal stability with excellent lubrication properties remains a major challenge in current research and development. Specifically, current research and development faces the following bottlenecks: 1) Reliance on iterative trial-and-error methods, resulting in low R&D efficiency and high costs: Currently, the development of ionic liquid lubricants resistant to extreme temperatures relies primarily on the traditional "Edison-style" trial-and-error method. Researchers must invest considerable time and resources to individually formulate ionic liquids of varying compositions and conduct tedious lubrication performance tests under various extreme high-temperature conditions. This process is not only time-consuming and resource-intensive, but also faces extremely limited experimental coverage with tens of thousands of potential combinations, making comprehensive and efficient screening difficult. 2) The complex structure-property relationship of ionic liquids limits the effectiveness of traditional prediction methods: Due to the highly tunable molecular structure of ionic liquids, their performance is significantly influenced by their microstructure and exhibits a high degree of nonlinearity. Current performance prediction methods based on rule-based derivation and molecular simulations struggle to fully and accurately describe their lubrication behavior under extreme temperatures, lacking an efficient and systematic performance prediction and screening mechanism. 3) Lack of a systematic intelligent design and screening platform: Existing research mostly focuses on local performance prediction or experimental verification, and lacks an intelligent generation path that integrates molecular structure encoding, performance prediction and combinatorial optimization. It is difficult to support the targeted matching and precise recommendation of lubrication requirements under complex working conditions such as extremely high temperatures.
[0005] Therefore, an intelligent design method integrating molecular structure expression, deep learning modeling, performance prediction, and formulation generation and optimization is urgently needed to rapidly screen and predict ionic liquid lubricant formulations with excellent performance under extreme high-temperature conditions. This method can realize the intelligent design and optimization of ionic liquid lubricants from the perspective of "data-structure-performance". This method can significantly improve the R&D efficiency and reduce R&D costs of ionic liquid lubricants, and promote their engineering applications in key fields such as aerospace, military industry, and extreme manufacturing. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for intelligently generating high-temperature resistant ionic liquids based on deep learning and intelligent optimization algorithms, in order to address the problems in the existing technology of relying on traditional experimental trial and error methods for the development of extreme high-temperature ionic liquid lubricants, such as low R&D efficiency and high cost, and inaccurate structure-performance relationship modeling and insufficient multi-objective optimization capabilities in performance prediction methods based on rule deduction or simple simulation. The method realizes the intelligence of the entire process from molecular structure and performance prediction to formula optimization, and efficiently screens ionic liquid formulas with both strong thermal stability and good lubrication performance, significantly improving the R&D efficiency of lubricants in extreme high-temperature environments, and promoting the application of ionic liquid lubricants under extreme working conditions in key fields such as aerospace, military industry and extreme manufacturing.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] An intelligent design method for ionic liquids for extreme high-temperature lubrication requirements includes the following steps:
[0009] 1) Initial Dataset Construction: Using the structured query language SQL, we searched the data platform and screened for data on the lubrication performance of ionic liquids under extreme high temperatures. We then systematically integrated the data into a four-category definition model: ion combination, environmental parameters, surface characteristics, and lubrication performance, to establish the initial dataset.
[0010] 2) Supplementation of missing entries in the dataset and cleaning of abnormal data: Further search for literature related to the lubrication performance of ionic liquids. The literature was uploaded to the natural language processing model BERT in .pdf format to identify and extract the ionic liquid lubrication performance data in the literature and supplement the blank data. Based on the calculation results of molecular dynamics simulation, a theoretical threshold for data confidence was set, and data points that deviated from the confidence interval were automatically cleaned to obtain an optimized dataset.
[0011] 3) Model training: The data processed in step 2) is pre-processed with ionic structure feature engineering to stack the lubrication performance data of the ionic liquid into 20 dimensions for ease of machine learning. The data set is stratified and sampled according to temperature ranges, and proportionally divided into training and test sets. The machine learning model is determined and its hyperparameter space is defined. The training set is input into the machine learning model for training, and the optimal value of the hyperparameter vector is further converged based on grid search to improve model accuracy.
[0012] 4) Model accuracy evaluation and optimization: Input the test set into the model obtained in step 3) and use R 2 The accuracy of the ionic liquid generated by the model was evaluated with RMAE. The improved bird flock algorithm (IBSA) was combined to perform a global search of the training set data points to ensure that the learning process converged to data points with higher accuracy. This optimized the model's description of the structure-activity relationship of the lubrication performance of ionic liquids, further improving the model's accuracy and resulting in a generative model capable of generating ionic liquid lubricants for extremely high-temperature lubrication requirements.
[0013] 5) Formulation Generation: The specified extreme high-temperature environmental parameters and lubrication surface characteristics are input into the generative model obtained after optimization in step 4). The model will determine the corresponding hyperparameter vector based on the specified temperature range and generate 10-20 candidate ionic liquid formulations for molecular dynamics simulation. The model calculates their mass loss at a heating rate of 10K / min and their friction coefficient under a normal stress of 1.0-2.5GPa, and further screens out ionic liquids that can meet the lubrication requirements of the specified extreme high-temperature working conditions.
[0014] Furthermore, in step 1), the decomposition temperature T when the mass loss is 5% in the thermogravimetric analysis TGA is screened. d The ionic liquid lubrication data showed a kinematic viscosity range of 20-40 cP measured by a rotational rheometer at 1450±50 rpm in a nitrogen atmosphere at test temperatures of ≥210°C and 240°C, and a friction coefficient μ<0.1 measured at a contact pressure of 1.0-2.5 GPa in a four-ball test.
[0015] Furthermore, in steps 1) and 2), the data sources of the data set include the NIST ILThermo and Web of Science data platforms, SCI-indexed literature, and ASTM standard experimental data; each data is systematically organized according to the class definition model of the four-tuple lubrication performance described by the anion and cation type, temperature and load environment parameters, roughness and charge density surface characteristics, viscosity and friction coefficient.
[0016] Furthermore, in step 2), the natural language processing model BERT is used to identify and extract the semantics of ionic liquids in the literature, so that the lubrication performance can be automatically included in the data set from the literature; for the ionic structural formulas and 3D model image data in the literature, the ionic structural features are mapped and extracted based on the graph neural network GNN; the obtained ionic structure data are uniformly encoded and stored in the SMILES format.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 3), the SMILES-encoded ionic structural features were converted into 208 feature descriptors using the RDKit 2022.09 toolkit. Based on the one-hot encoding and Pearson correlation coefficient heat map shared or not shared by the anion and cation feature descriptors, the 208 feature descriptors were further stacked into 20 dimensions that could accurately reflect the differences in the ionic structural features of the data set.
[0018] Furthermore, in step 3), the data in the dataset are stratified and sampled according to a temperature interval of 10K to ensure that the data can be evenly divided into the training set and the test set according to the temperature, thereby reducing the underfitting or overfitting of the model caused by the division difference; the training set and the test set are divided in a ratio of 7:3.
[0019] Furthermore, in step 3), the dimensions of the constructed hyperparameter space include depth, number of iterations, learning rate, number of early stopping rounds, and L2 regularization coefficient; a conditional generative machine learning model that integrates the CatBoost framework and the VAE encoder is used for training, and grid search and 10CV cross-validation methods are used to determine the value range of a better hyperparameter vector, narrowing the value range of the hyperparameter vector to improve the accuracy of the model.
[0020] Further, in step 4), by R 2 The accuracy of the ionic liquid generated by the quantitative model was ≥0.95 and RMSE ≤0.02; the bird flock algorithm was used to mark each data point one by one and share the data to exclude a few abnormal data points.
[0021] Furthermore, in step 5), the generated ionic liquid will be filtered through RDKit syntax verification, ΔG<0 thermodynamic criterion, and CatBoost performance prediction in sequence, and 10-20 ionic liquid candidate solutions will be output, and the output results will be encoded in SMILES.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
[0023] (1) Achieve efficient screening of extreme high-temperature ionic liquid lubricants: Using AI's high computing power to learn the structure-activity relationship of ionic liquid lubrication properties instead of traditional trial-and-error experiments can shorten the R&D cycle by 75%;
[0024] (2) Multimodal data fusion improves design reliability: The domain-specific BERT model is used to accurately extract literature performance parameters, and GNN is used to analyze ionic structures and 3D models, which are uniformly converted into SMILES encoding and storage to solve the problem of heterogeneous data integration;
[0025] (3) Generative model-driven active design: The CatBoost machine learning model is integrated with the VAE encoder to build a conditional generative model, which automatically rolls back and generates candidate recipes based on the input working conditions. The improved bird flock algorithm (IBSA) is introduced to globally optimize data point selection, allowing the model to converge to a higher accuracy area, breaking through the accuracy bottleneck of traditional models.
[0026] (4) Triple filtering mechanism ensures the feasibility of the formula: through RDKit syntax verification, ΔG<0 thermodynamic criterion, and CatBoost performance prediction, invalid solutions are triple filtered. The output SMILES code can be directly converted into a structural formula and 3D model to accelerate experimental verification;
[0027] (5) Good scalability: The method framework is universal and can be adapted to more complex material screening tasks by expanding descriptors, improving model structure, or integrating other lubrication performance indicators. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
