AI Discovers Platinum-Free Materials to Enable Affordable Green Hydrogen Production
- Developed AI technique to predict compositions of materials with desirable characteristics for applications like water electrolysis
- Used technique to discover platinum-free electrode materials for affordable, large-scale green hydrogen production
- New materials use abundant elements like Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, Ag and match performance of scarce ruthenium oxides
- Technique screens 3,000 materials in 1 month vs years manually, expanding limits of human intelligence
- Plans to use AI to expedite development of efficient materials for devices contributing to carbon neutrality
