Title: Accelerating Ammonia Synthesis Catalyst Discovery with Machine Learning: Insights from Matlantis

Abstract:
Heterogeneous catalyst screening is challenging due to DFT's high cost. Matlantis' Neural Network Potential (NNP) achieves DFT-level accuracy 10,000× faster across 96 elements. Combined with descriptor-based microkinetics, it accelerates screening 100,000×. A case study on ammonia synthesis identified new catalysts, reproducing experimental trends while maintaining high predictive accuracy.
