Here, we introduce a deep learning workflow that predicts Tafel slopes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) directly from electrochemical responses, overcoming data scarcity and enabling rapid evaluation of electrocatalyst performance. By capturing complex activity–structure relationships, this approach bypasses conventional parameter engineering, transfer learning, and DFT calculations, providing efficient data-driven insights for sustainable water-splitting electrocatalysts. This study proposes a novel application-driven workflow that integrates conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE)-based synthetic data generation with a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) to predict Tafel slopes from OER electrocatalyst electrochemical measurements. CVAEs and CNNs are integrated deep learning architectures whose combined use augments sparse electrochemical datasets, validates synthetic data consistency, and enables accurate Tafel slope prediction in the context of OER kinetics for sustainable hydrogen production. The CVAE demonstrated capability in generating realistic synthetic data from only six real samples, with transfer tests confirming consistency between synthetic and real domains (TSTR: <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <msup>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>R</mi>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mn>2</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </msup>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mn>0</mn>\u0000 <mo>.</mo>\u0000 <mn>996</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation>$$ {R}^2=0.996 $$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, RMSE = 2.736; TRTS: <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <msup>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>R</mi>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mn>2</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </msup>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mn>0</mn>\u0000 <mo>.</mo>\u0000 <mn>986</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation>$$ {R}^2=0.986 $$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, RMSE = 5.474).

Instructional approaches often rely on static representations that obscure the stochastic and quantitative nature of these processes. Here, we investigated whether an immersive augmented reality (AR) environment could improve students' conceptual understanding and use of scientific terminology related to molecular motion. The lesson was developed as a socially mediated augmented reality (SoAR) experience in which teams of four participants collaboratively explored a shared simulation of molecules diffusing in solution. Participants manipulated system parameters such as temperature using gesture-based controls while observing real-time graphical representations of molecular motion and statistical relationships between temperature and molecular movement. Learning outcomes were assessed through written responses to prelesson and postlesson questions, which were categorized and scored to measure a participant's information content and use of expert language in their answers. Results revealed significant increases in both information context and use of expert language after engagement with the SoAR lesson. These gains were independent of participants' prior educational experience and were not influenced by social familiarity within working groups. These findings demonstrate the potential of immersive SoAR environments to support collaborative learning of complex molecular phenomena.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemometrics","volume":"40 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148133184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this framework, one-dimensional UV absorbance spectra were transformed into the wavelet domain across multiple scale factors to generate structured pseudo-three-way data arrays. These multiway arrays were subsequently decomposed by PARAFAC, enabling the simultaneous extraction of pure spectral profiles, concentration profiles, and scale-dependent features for each component. Unlike prediction-based calibration approaches such as PLS and PCR, the proposed CWT-PARAFAC architecture enables true analytical separation of overlapping spectral components. The wavelet-domain representation was optimized by evaluating different wavelet families over multiple scale ranges, and those providing the best spectral consistency and recovery performance were selected for subsequent multiway analysis. The applicability of the proposed architecture was demonstrated using a representative pharmaceutical binary mixture containing moexipril hydrochloride (MOEX) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), whose UV absorption spectra strongly overlap. The CWT-PARAFAC framework provided effective analytical separation of overlapping spectral signals and enabled accurate and robust quantification of both analytes. Model performance was confirmed through validation studies, including linearity, precision, and recovery, and the method was successfully applied to the analysis of a commercial tablet formulation. Overall, the results demonstrate that the proposed CWT-PARAFAC double-algorithmic architecture enables effective analysis of complex multicomponent mixture systems exhibiting signal overlap and provides a practical and cost-effective alternative analytical approach to conventional high-cost analytical techniques.</p>","PeriodicalId":15274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemometrics","volume":"40 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cem.70130","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148039948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
