Abstract
Machine learning (ML) models were developed for understanding the root uptake of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) under complex PFAS-crop-soil interactions. Three hundred root concentration factor (RCF) data points and 26 features associated with PFAS structures, crop properties, soil properties, and cultivation conditions were used for the model development. The optimal ML model, obtained by stratified sampling, Bayesian optimization, and 5-fold cross-validation, was explained by permutation feature importance, individual conditional expectation plot, and 3D interaction plot. The results showed that soil organic carbon contents, pH, chemical logP, soil PFAS concentration, root protein contents, and exposure time greatly affected the root uptake of PFASs with 0.43, 0.25, 0.10, 0.05, 0.05, and 0.05 of relative importance, respectively. Furthermore, these factors presented the key threshold ranges in favor of the PFAS uptake. Carbon-chain length was identified as the critical molecular structure affecting root uptake of PFASs with 0.12 of relative importance, based on the extended connectivity fingerprints. A user-friendly model was established with symbolic regression for accurately predicting RCF values of the PFASs (including branched PFAS isomerides). The present study provides a novel approach for profound insight into the uptake of PFASs by crops under complex PFAS-crop-soil interactions, aiming to ensure food safety and human health.

Abstract
Solvent treatment is critical to improving the stability of halide perovskite materials that suffer from notorious issues that inhibit their industrial deployment; however, the complicated perovskite virtual design space with different types of solvent modifiers is inaccessible to traditional trial-and-error methods. In this study, machine learning is employed to predict stable multiple solvent-modified perovskite films under hostile conditions, and a complicated quinary solvent system "DMSO + DMF + toluene + NMP + GBL" is effectively identified to significantly improve the optoelectronic stability of CH3NH3PbI3 in water. The "combinatorial solvent design" approach is realized by an extra tree machine learning model, which leads to a prediction dataset containing aqueous stability labels of 6720 new quinary solvent/perovskite systems. Importantly, the accuracy of the machine learning model is verified via photoelectrochemical experiments, achieving an experimental accuracy of 80%. A machine learning-predicted quinary solvent system offers significantly enhanced aqueous stability and 1000 times larger aqueous photocurrents, compared with the control CH3NH3PbI3 film under the same hostile conditions. This study demonstrates the efficacy of machine learning for solvent design toward stable halide perovskite materials under hostile conditions.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts and photocatalysts are key to a sustainable future, generating clean fuels, reducing the impact of global warming, and providing solutions to environmental pollution. Improved processes for catalyst design and a better understanding of electro/photocatalytic processes are essential for improving catalyst effectiveness. Recent advances in data science and artificial intelligence have great potential to accelerate electrocatalysis and photocatalysis research, particularly the rapid exploration of large materials chemistry spaces through machine learning. Here a comprehensive introduction to, and critical review of, machine learning techniques used in electrocatalysis and photocatalysis research are provided. Sources of electro/photocatalyst data and current approaches to representing these materials by mathematical features are described, the most commonly used machine learning methods summarized, and the quality and utility of electro/photocatalyst models evaluated. Illustrations of how machine learning models are applied to novel electro/photocatalyst discovery and used to elucidate electrocatalytic or photocatalytic reaction mechanisms are provided. The review offers a guide for materials scientists on the selection of machine learning methods for electrocatalysis and photocatalysis research. The application of machine learning to catalysis science represents a paradigm shift in the way advanced, next-generation catalysts will be designed and synthesized.
