The development of automated high-throughput experimental platforms has enabled fast sampling of high-dimensional decision spaces. To reach target properties efficiently, these platforms are increasingly paired with intelligent experimental design. When solving optimization problems, Bayesian-based optimizers are often…

Multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) has shown to be a promising tool for reaction development. However, noise is usually unavoidable during experiments and makes it challenging to find reliable solutions. In this study, we focus on finding a set of optimal reaction conditions using multi-objective Euclidian…

Syngas is an important intermediate with a wide range of applications. Recent efforts at Forschungszentrum Jülich focus on the electrolytic production of syngas from water and carbon dioxide through high-temperature solid oxide cell electrolysis cells (SOEC) for use in methanol synthesis in the context of the DryHy…

The discovery of optimal conditions of chemical reactions is a labor-intensive, time-consuming task that requires exploring a high-dimensional parametric space. Historically the optimization of chemical reactions has been performed by manual experimentation guided by human intuition and Design of Experiments where one…

Computer-assisted design of small molecules has experienced a resurgence in academic and indus- trial interest due to the widespread use of data-driven techniques such as deep generative models. While the ability to generate molecules that fulfill required chemical properties is encouraging, the use of deep learning…

Experiment planning algorithms are a required component of autonomous platforms for scientific discovery. Selecting a suitable optimization algorithm for a novel application is an important yet difficult choice a researcher has to make based on past empirical performance on similar tasks. To facilitate the evaluation…

What is the minimum number of experiments, or calculations, required to find an optimal solution? Relevant chemical problems range from identifying a compound with target functionality within a given phase space to controlling materials synthesis and device fabrication conditions. A common feature in this application…

Optimizing the synthesis conditions of advanced materials is challenging, especially when outcomes are subject to inherent experimental uncertainties. Bayesian optimization is a popular tool for accelerating materials discovery, but its standard risk-neutral framework overlooks the variability of outcomes under…

The sunlight-driven reduction of CO2 into fuels and platform chemicals is a promising approach to enable a circular economy. However, established optimisation approaches are poorly suited to multi-variable multi-metric photocatalytic systems because they aim to optimise one performance metric while sacrificing the…

This study presents a novel application of Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization (MOBO) to enhance the formulation of flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) composites. Our goal was to optimize the chemical composition of intumescent polypropylene (PP) formulations by maximizing the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and…

Model-based optimization strategies, such as Bayesian optimization (BO), have been deployed across the natural sciences in design and discovery campaigns due to their sample efficiency and flexibility. The combination of such strategies with automated laboratory equipment and/or high-performance computing in a…

Experimental design plays an important role in efficiently acquiring informative data for system characterization and deriving robust conclusions under resource limitations. Recent advancements in high-throughput experimentation coupled with machine learning have notably improved experimental procedures. While Bayesian…

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) are next-generation research and development platforms for closed-loop, autonomous experimentation that combine ideas from artificial intelligence, robotics, and high-performance computing. A critical component of SDLs is the decision-making algorithm used to prioritize experiments to…

In this work we present a new approach that we use to simulate and optimize multiple dividing wall columns at the same time. Instead of considering all model equations as constraints and all process variables as optimization variables in a large and highly nonlinear optimization problem we only incorporate a subset of…
