PoroNet: An Intrinsically Interpretable Pore Graph Neural Network for Resolving Pore-Level Adsorption in Metal–Organic Frameworks
Machine learning (ML) models have been widely used as efficient surrogates to predict adsorption in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage, chemical separations, and catalysis applications. T...

Check out our recent work on elucidating the mechanical and thermodynamic pressures, interfacial stress and interfacial free energy in ice nucleus.

How to harmonize the thermodynamic and mechanical pictures of solid-liquid interfaces is still an open question.

Comparing the Mechanical and Thermodynamic Definitions of Pressure in Ice Nucleation
Crystal nucleation studies using hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones models have shown that the actual (mechanical) pressure within the nucleus is lower than that in the surrounding liquid. Here, we use the...

In this new paper in ACS Catalysis, XijunWang, @kaihangs.bsky.social, and Anyang Peng tackle some of the challenges in modeling supported amorphous metal oxide nanoclusters for methane activation. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Computational Chemistry and Machine Learning-Assisted Screening of Supported Amorphous Metal Oxide Nanoclusters for Methane Activation
Activating the C–H bond in methane represents a cornerstone challenge in catalytic research. While several supported metal oxide nanoclusters (MeO-NCs) have shown promise for this reaction, their opti...

As my first post on @bsky.app, I'm happy to announce the publication of a paper describing the new (very fast!) GPU version of our RASPA simulation code, gRASPA. Congratulations to Zhao Li and the team!
