Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

OC25, the Open Catalyst dataset, is a large collection of quantum-chemistry calculations describing how molecules interact with catalytic surfaces, built to train machine-learning models that predict catalytic reaction behavior. Because catalysts underlie processes like industrial chemical production and renewable-energy conversion, models trained on OC25 let researchers screen candidate catalyst materials computationally before testing them in a lab.
