Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of computational chemistry and computational electrochemistry, and in particular to a method and system for predicting material properties. Background Technology
[0002] Electrochemical reactions typically occur at the electrode-electrolyte interface, which exhibits complex kinetics modulated by potential, including key processes such as intermediate adsorption, charge transfer, and the dynamic evolution of the interfacial solvation layer and electrical double layer (EDL). Current mainstream research methods for elucidating these phenomena include:
[0003] 1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations: can accurately predict electronic structure, adsorption energy, reaction barriers, etc., but have high computational costs and cannot be extended to nanometer / nanosecond-level interface systems; scale and accuracy are mutually exclusive. 2. Grand-Canonical DFT: achieves constant potential modeling by fixing the chemical potential, but still has limitations in simulating charge redistribution and solvent response; it is difficult to directly correlate the applied potential with the electronic structure response, and lacks precision in potential control.
[0004] 3. Machine Learning Potential Functions (MLPs): They excel in improving computational efficiency, but they struggle to describe potential dependence and maintain physical symmetry, resulting in insufficient physical consistency. Furthermore, they do not explicitly model the potential-driven dynamic evolution of charges. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the problems in existing technologies, such as the inability to balance scale and precision in electrochemical reaction research, lack of potential control precision, and insufficient physical consistency, this invention proposes a material performance analysis and prediction method. This method possesses constant potential control capability, symmetry preservation, machine learning acceleration, and a modeling framework that can be extended to interface systems, in order to accurately capture electrochemical interface behavior and promote the intelligent design of electrocatalysts.
[0006] The present invention proposes a material property analysis and prediction method. First, a constant potential message passing model is constructed to predict the giant potential energy, work function and atomic force under constant potential based on atomic configuration and potential information. The constant potential message passing model is used to analyze the molecular properties under the target potential.

Multiple atomic features are linearly fused to form fused features carrying overelectron information. The message passing layer uses the geometric tensor product to perform information interaction between each central atom and its neighboring atoms, reconstructing atomic features and overelectrons. Finally, the giant potential energy, atomic force, and work function of the atomic configuration are obtained by performing a substitution-invariant summation operation on the messages of all neighboring nodes.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a material property analysis and prediction method proposed in this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment proposes a constant potential message passing model that predicts the giant potential energy, work function, and atomic force under constant potential based on atomic configuration and potential information. The atomic configuration consists of nodes representing molecules and edges connecting the nodes. The potential information is characterized by the number of electrons in the molecule under the target potential. The number of electrons is the product of the difference between the number of electrons under the target potential and the number of electrons in the molecule under neutral conditions and the chemical potential of electrons in the power source. Neutral conditions refer to voltage neutrality, i.e., zero-point voltage.
[0038] The constant potential message passing model includes a multi-head attention mechanism layer and a message passing layer;
[0039] Multi-head attention mechanism layer: includes multiple parallel front-end fully connected layers, attention fusion module and back-end fully connected layer.
[0040] Each front-end fully connected layer corresponds one-to-one with the set atomic feature category. The atomic feature is the node information after the atomic configuration is decomposed, including the number of atoms and the types of atoms. The number of atoms is the number of nodes on the atomic configuration, and the types of atoms are the types of elements on each node of the atomic configuration.
[0041] Each front-end fully connected layer processes the overelectrons and corresponding atomic features. The attention fusion module uses a multi-head attention mechanism to fuse the feature data output by each front-end fully connected layer, and then splices the output multi-head attention features before inputting them into the back-end fully connected layer for processing. The back-end fully connected layer outputs the fused features of atomic features and overelectrons at the target potential, which are the new features with overelectrons.
[0042] The message passing layer includes a first fully connected layer, a second fully connected layer, a matrix fusion module, a third fully connected layer, and an aggregation module;
[0043] The first fully connected layer is used to access the fused features output by the multi-head attention mechanism layer and transform them into a node matrix;
[0044] The second fully connected layer is used to access the edge features of the atomic configuration and transform them into an edge matrix. The edge features are obtained by encoding the edges of the atomic configuration using isovariant convolution to obtain the initial node feature representation h. v (a,c,q) and edge features including radial and angular components; the radial components use Bessel functions as radial basis functions; the angular components use spherical harmonic functions Y. lm , where l = 0, 1, 2.
[0045] In practice, when encoding the edges of atomic configurations, Clebsch–Gordan coefficients are used to ensure SO(3) isovariability; [The remaining text appears to be incomplete and requires further context.] The cutoff radius is used to determine the adjacency graph to ensure the effectiveness of edge feature representation.
[0046] The matrix fusion module merges the node matrix and the edge matrix to obtain a fused matrix. The matrix fusion module can employ matrix fusion algorithms such as fully connected layers.
[0047] The third fully connected layer processes the fusion matrix, reconstructs the node features of the atomic configuration, and rearranges the overelectrons;
[0048] The aggregation module includes a giant potential energy prediction branch, an atomic force prediction branch, and a work function prediction branch;
[0049] The giant potential energy prediction branch performs global summation pooling on the node features output by the third fully connected layer to output the giant potential energy;
[0050] The atomic force prediction branch performs automatic differential calculations on the giant potential energy to obtain consistent atomic forces;
[0051] The work function prediction branch performs global average pooling on the node features output by the third fully connected layer, and outputs the system work function.
[0052] That is, the giant potential energy prediction branch adopts a global summation pooling layer, the atomic force prediction branch adopts a differential calculation function model, and the work function prediction branch adopts a global average pooling layer.
[0053] In practice, the constant potential message passing model is obtained through machine learning on a labeled dataset.
[0054] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, a method for analyzing molecular properties using a constant potential message passing model is employed, and the steps are as follows:
[0055] S1. Obtain the atomic configuration of the molecule to be analyzed, extract atomic features, and encode the edges of the atomic configuration using isovariant convolution to obtain edge features; set the target potential and the overelectrons at the target potential;
[0056] S2. The multi-head attention layer processes atomic features and overelectrons to obtain fusion features;
[0057] S3. The message passing layer processes the fused features and edge features to obtain the reconstructed node features and rearranged overelectrons output by the third fully connected layer.
[0058] S4. Determine whether the message passing count t has reached the set value T; the message passing count is the number of node feature reconstructions of the atomic configuration, and also the number of transelectron rearrangements; the initial value of t is 0;
[0059] If not, update the message passing count t to t+1, then update the atomic configuration with the reconstructed node features, re-extract the atomic features and rearranged overelectrons of the atomic configuration as input to the multi-head attention layer, and return to step S2;
[0060] If so, the aggregation module processes the node features output by the third fully connected layer to obtain the giant potential energy, atomic force, and work function of the atomic configuration.
[0061] This constant potential message passing model was obtained through machine learning using a known dataset.
[0062] This embodiment also proposes a material property analysis and prediction system, including:
[0063] The human-computer interaction module is used to set the object to be analyzed and the target potential; the object to be analyzed is the molecule to be analyzed.
[0064] The feature extraction module, connected to the human-computer interaction module, is used to call the atomic configuration of the object to be analyzed and generate atomic features, edge features, and overelectrons at the target potential.
[0065] The model prediction module, with its built-in constant potential message passing model, processes the atomic features, edge features, and overelectrons output by the feature extraction module to obtain the giant potential energy, atomic force, and work function of the object to be analyzed.
