The passage around this formula
Here the activation energy is itself a function of the binding energy , so tuning a catalyst is really tuning where on that curve a given surface sits — through composition, structure, and the local electronic environment around active sites. This is why catalyst discovery is not a search over infinite possibilities so much as a search over a comparatively narrow, well-parameterized space, which is exactly the property that makes it amenable to machine-learned surrogate models in the first place [ 9 ] .
