Abstract
To accelerate materials discovery, a protocol bridging computation and experiments is crucial. This paper introduces a high-throughput screening protocol for discovering palladium (Pd) replacement bimetallic catalysts using electronic density of states patterns as a screening descriptor. First-principles calculations screened 4350 bimetallic alloy structures, proposing eight candidates. Experiments confirmed four exhibited catalytic properties comparable to Pd. Notably, Ni61Pt39 outperformed Pd, showing a 9.5-fold enhancement in cost-normalized productivity.
