Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) is an important process which is a potential way to recycle excessive CO 2 in the atmosphere. Although the electrocatalyst is the key toward efficient CO 2 RR, the progress of discovering effective catalysts is lagging with current methods. Because of the cost and time efficiency of the modern machine learning (ML) algorithm, an increasing number of researchers have applied ML to accelerate the screening of suitable catalysts and to deepen our understanding in the mechanism. Hence, we reviewed recent applications of ML in the research of CO 2 RR by the types of electrocatalyst. An introduction on the general methodology and a discussion on the pros and cons for such applications are included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
