Abstract

The field of catalysis holds paramount importance in shaping the trajectory of sustainable development, prompting intensive research efforts to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) in catalyst design. Presently, the fine-tuning of open-source large language models (LLMs) has yielded significant breakthroughs across various domains such as biology and healthcare. Drawing inspiration from these advancements, we introduce CataLM Cata}lytic Language Model), a large language model tailored to the domain of electrocatalytic materials. Our findings demonstrate that CataLM exhibits remarkable potential for facilitating human-AI collaboration in catalyst knowledge exploration and design. To the best of our knowledge, CataLM stands as the pioneering LLM dedicated to the catalyst domain, offering novel avenues for catalyst discovery and development.
