For CO* and H* binding energy prediction, we develop new representation of catalyst surface which split surface into three types of site, first nearest neighbor of adsorbates and second nearest neighbor in same layer and sublayer. From this representation and machine learning regression model, we achieve reasonable accuracy (0.120 eV for CO* and 0.105 eV for H*) with quick training (~200 sec using CPU). Because our representation does not require density functional calculation and atomic structure modelling, it can predict binding energies of possible active motifs without time-consuming steps.

ABSTRACTWe show in a theoretical density functional theory study that amorphous Si (a-Si) has more favorable energetics for Mg storage compared to crystalline Si (c-Si). Specifically, Mg and Li insertion is compared in a model a-Si simulation cell. Multiple sites for Mg insertion with a wide range of binding energies are identified. For many sites, Mg defect formation energies are negative, whereas they are positive in c-Si. Moreover, while clustering in c-Si destabilizes the insertion sites (by about 0.1/0.2 eV per atom for nearest-neighbor Li/Mg), it is found to stabilize some of the insertion sites for both Li (by up to 0.27 eV) and Mg (by up to 0.35 eV) in a-Si. This could have significant implications on the performance of Si anodes in Mg batteries.

The effect of La on the diffusion of Nb in fcc Fe has been investigated using the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The binding energies of Nb–vacancy, La–vacancy and La–Nb pairs have been calculated. The interactions of Nb–vacancy and La–Nb are attractive in 1nn and 2nn configurations (nn: nearest–neighbor). La atom attracts strongly with the 1nn vacancy, but has a weakly repulsive interaction with the 2nn vacancy. We consider four different Nb jumps in the presence of La atom to investigate the Nb diffusion in terms of vacancy formation and migration energy. The results suggest that La increases the diffusion activation energy of Nb in fcc Fe matrix, and is helpful to decelerate the Nb-diffusion-involved phase transformation process.
