GQD-AdsNet: Graph Neural Networks Unlock Rapid Exploration of Transition Metal Adsorption on Graphene Quantum Dots

Lara Goncebat, Rodrigo Echeveste, Matías Gerard, Frederik Tielens, Gustavo Belletti, Paola Quaino

In recent years, interest in single-atom catalysts supported on carbon-based structures has grown considerably due to their high catalytic activity and efficient uses of metal atoms. However, the design and characterization of these materials through first-principles calculations are computationally expensive, limiting the exploration of a large number of possible configurations. Here, we developed a framework based on graph neural networks (GNNs) to predict the adsorption energies of transition metals on graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The model was trained using data obtained from density functional theory calculations and achieved an $R^2$ of 0.906 with an MAE of 0.101 eV, while reducing computational cost by roughly six orders of magnitude relative to DFT. This methodology provides an efficient tool for the accelerated screening and rational design of new catalysts based on carbon nanostructures.
