Unraveling Lithium Dynamics in Solid Electrolyte Interphase: From Graph Contrastive Learning to Transport Pathways

This paper introduces GET-SEI, a general framework combining graph contrastive learning, extended dynamic mode decomposition, and transition path theory to automatically characterize local atomic environments and quantify lithium transport kinetics and pathways across diverse solid-state electrolyte/lithium metal interfaces for targeted SEI engineering.

ChemNavigator: Agentic AI Discovery of Design Rules for Organic Photocatalysts

The paper introduces ChemNavigator, an agentic AI system that autonomously integrates large language model reasoning with computational chemistry to discover six statistically significant, chemically grounded design rules for organic photocatalysts, outperforming previous machine learning approaches by independently deriving interpretable structure-property relationships through a hypothesis-driven scientific workflow.
