<![CDATA[The Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) is a fundamental process in electrochemical water splitting, playing a crucial role in sustainable hydrogen production. However, its intrinsically sluggish kinetics, involving complex four-electron transfer steps, remain a major bottleneck for efficient energy conversion. In recent years, Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful approach to accelerate catalyst discovery by enabling data-driven prediction of OER activity and reducing reliance on costly experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in ML-assisted OER research, focusing on key aspects including dataset construction, descriptor engineering, model development, and performance evaluation. Various ML techniques, ranging from traditional algorithms such as Random Forest and Support Vector Machines to advanced deep learning approaches, are critically discussed in the context of catalyst screening and activity prediction. Particular attention is given to the role of physicochemical descriptors, including adsorption energies and electronic structure parameters, in governing model performance and interpretability. Furthermore, this review highlights current challenges, such as data scarcity, lack of standardization, and limited model generalization, while discussing emerging trends including active learning, explainable AI, and integration with high-throughput simulations. By providing a comprehensive overview, this work aims to guide future research toward the development of robust, interpretable, and scalable ML frameworks for accelerating the discovery of efficient OER catalysts.]]>

<![CDATA[Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the natural abundance, low cost, and wide geographic availability of sodium resources. However, their practical implementation is hindered by challenges such as lower energy density, slower ion diffusion, and limited cycle stability. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been increasingly applied to accelerate the discovery, design, and optimization of SIB materials and systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of ML applications in sodium-ion battery research, including electrode material discovery, electrolyte optimization, performance prediction, and degradation analysis. Various ML techniques, such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and deep learning, are discussed in relation to their roles in materials informatics. Additionally, challenges such as data scarcity, model interpretability, and transferability are critically analyzed. Finally, future perspectives on integrating ML with high-throughput experiments and quantum computing are highlighted to guide next-generation sodium-ion battery research.]]>

<![CDATA[Quantum machine learning (QML) has emerged as a promising interdisciplinary field that integrates principles of quantum computing with machine learning techniques to address complex computational challenges. By leveraging quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, QML aims to enhance learning efficiency, improve model performance, and enable the exploration of high-dimensional feature spaces that are intractable for classical methods. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent developments in QML, covering fundamental concepts, algorithmic taxonomies, data encoding techniques, implementation challenges, and real-world applications. Key approaches, including quantum support vector machines (QSVM), variational quantum circuits (VQC), and quantum neural networks (QNN), are systematically analyzed. Furthermore, critical challenges, including noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) limitations, barren plateaus, data encoding bottlenecks, and the lack of demonstrated quantum advantage, are discussed in detail. The review also highlights emerging applications in material informatics, energy systems, healthcare, and optimization problems. Finally, future research directions are outlined, emphasizing the need for advancements in quantum hardware, scalable algorithms, hybrid frameworks, and standardized benchmarking. This work aims to provide a structured perspective on the current state of QML and to identify opportunities in deploy it effectively in solve real-world problems.]]>
