arXiv:2606.17445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design of heterogeneous catalysts remains challenging because catalyst surfaces exhibit substantial structural complexity with coupled surface-adsorbate interactions across a vast chemical space that is difficult to explore efficiently through conventional screening alone. Although machine learning-based high-throughput screening has accelerated catalyst discovery, its efficiency inevitably declines as the search space grows, motivating the development of generative models that can directly construct catalysts with target properties.

Advances in large-scale autoregressive models are enabling new applications in complex scientific domains, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven material science and chemical discovery.
This development represents a significant step toward automating and accelerating the design of novel materials with specific properties, impacting multiple industrial sectors.
The conventional trial-and-error approach to catalyst design is being augmented and potentially superseded by generative AI models capable of directly proposing functional materials.
