We have developed an atomic graph attention network (AGAT) for high-precision machine learning. The model has been applied to predict high-performance high-entropy catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The prediction is successfully verified by experiments collaborated with Prof. Kang Xiongwu at the South China University of Technology. Please read the publication entitled Design high-entropy electrocatalyst via interpretable deep graph attention learning in the journal of JOULE .
