Abstract

Catalytic nanoparticles restructure dynamically under reaction conditions, so their working morphology and activity are governed by temperature, pressure, and gas composition. However, converting experimentally specified environments into physically meaningful morphology-performance simulations remains difficult because the translation of reaction conditions into model-specific energetic, kinetic, and execution parameters requires the specialized knowledge in computational catalysis. Here we report ChatMOSP, a chemistry-grounded mobile scientific agent that translates natural-language and voice-expressed catalytic requests into parameter-validated simulations using the Multi-scale Operando Simulation Package. ChatMOSP maps catalyst identity, temperature, pressure, gas composition, and target observables onto multiscale structure reconstruction and kinetic Monte Carlo tasks, retrieves database parameters or constructs missing inputs from an online literature-retrieval workflow, and executes validated MOSP workflows. Using CO oxidation on Pd nanoparticles as an example, we verify the ChatMOSP simulations capture the temperature-induced transition from faceted to rounded morphologies observed by in-situ TEM experiments either by built-in database or from web-retrieved literature information when the parameters are absent. Moreover, we demonstrate the capability of ChatMOSP to perform end-to-end study at mobile devices to simulate a pressure-coverage-morphology-activity feedback cycle for Pt CO oxidation to interpret the oscillatory CO conversion. These results establish ChatMOSP as a physically constrained mobile agent for accessible and interpretable catalyst working-state simulations.
