Machine learning assisted Co3O4/NiO popsicle sticks-infused electrospun nanofibers for efficient oxygen evolution reaction by Azza A. Al-Ghamdi, Abdul Sami, Salah M. El-Bahy, Merfat M. Alsabban, Wajid Sajjad, Ahlam I. Al-Sulami, Muhammad Waseem Fazal, Reema H. Aldahiri, Fatimah Mohammad H. Al-Sulami, Muhammad Ali Khan, Naeem Akhtar

“…Abstract Wide range of noble metal free bimetallic and trimetallic based electrocatalysts have been synthesized to develop efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) systems to-date, however, to determine which metal part of bimetallic and trimetallic electrocatalysts plays a significant role in controlling OER efficacy remains very challenging. To address this issue, herein we have employed machine learning (ML) for the first time to determine OER efficacy controlling metal element, thus leading to the development of an optimized bimetallic electrocatalyst. …”
