The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to useful chemicals and fuels is a new strategy to utilize large amounts of carbon dioxide. However, the lack of efficient catalysts has hindered the development of this technology. Herein, a machine learning (ML)-assisted screening model is developed to explore efficient trimetallic electrocatalysts for the CO 2 reduction reaction by combining with density functional theory (DFT) and electrochemical experiments. The group of doped elements in the periodic table is the most important descriptor of Cu-based trimetallic electrocatalysts and the support vector regression algorithm has the best predictive performance. Based on ML predictions, the overpotential of PdPt@Cu is successfully predicted to be 0.11 V, and it shows the best electrocatalytic performance for the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). DFT calculation results show that CO 2 → COOH* is the potential-limiting step of CO 2 RR-to-CO for PdPt@Cu and its overpotential is 0.09 V, which is consistent with the ML-predicted results. The electrochemical experiments show that the Faraday efficiency of CO is 82.12% at −0.8 V vs RHE for PdPt@Cu. After 12 h of electrolysis in the H-cell, the catalyst still maintains good catalytic performance. This work provides an efficient method for screening catalysts.
