论文简介    Subnanometer catalysts offer high noble metal utilization and superior performance for several reactions. However, understanding their structures and properties on an atomic scale under working conditions is challenging due to the large configurational space. Here, we introduce an efficient multiscale framework to predict their stability exposed to an adsorbate. The framework integrates a comprehensive toolset including density functional theory (DFT) calculations, cluster expansion, machine learning, and structure optimization. The end-to-end machine-learning workflow guides DFT data generation and enables significant computational acceleration. We demonstrate the approach for CO-adsorbed Pdn (n = 1–55) clusters on CeO2(111). Simulation results reveal that CO can facilitate restructuring by stabilizing smaller planar structures and bilayer structures of specific intermediate sizes, consistent with …
