SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Volcano plot generation enables rapid screening of catalyst candidates by visualizing activity descriptors against performance, helping researchers identify optimal materials at a glance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • High-throughput screening: compare hundreds of catalysts using descriptor-based plots.
  • Descriptor flexibility: plot different properties on the x-axis (e.g., dG_OH, d_band_center) and optionally y-axis.
  • Guided interpretation: apply Sabatier principle and scaling relations to guide selection.

Quick Start

Use the volcano plot skill to generate a data point set for a list of catalyst results defined by descriptor values and overpotentials.

Frequently Asked Questions about volcano-plot

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate volcano plots for high-throughput catalyst screening data?▼

Volcano plots map catalyst descriptor values to the x-axis and overpotential to the y-axis, enabling rapid screening of hundreds of candidates to identify peak performance regions at a glance.

What is the Sabatier principle and how does it apply to volcano plot interpretation?▼

The Sabatier principle guides catalyst selection by balancing binding strength. In volcano plot interpretation, it helps identify optimal materials near the peak, supported by optional ideal volcano lines based on established scaling relations.

Can I plot different descriptors like dG_OH and d_band_center for OER or HER screening?▼

Yes, you can plot different properties on the x-axis, such as dG_OH or d_band_center. This descriptor flexibility supports screening across various electrochemical reactions including OER, HER, and CO2RR.

What data format is required for catalyst entries to create a volcano plot?▼

Catalyst entries must be valid and contain the specific descriptor key you intend to plot. Additionally, you need consistent computation settings for descriptors to ensure accurate mapping and comparison across the dataset.

Are there limitations when applying scaling relations to volcano plots?▼

A key limitation is the requirement for consistent computation settings across all descriptor data. Without this consistency, the optional ideal volcano lines based on established scaling relations may not accurately reflect peak performance regions.
