Predicting adsorption ability of adsorbents at arbitrary sites for pollutants using deep transfer learning

Abstract Accurately evaluating the adsorption ability of adsorbents for heavy metal ions (HMIs) and organic pollutants in water is critical for the design and preparation of emerging highly efficient adsorbents. However, predicting adsorption capabilities of adsorbents at arbitrary sites is challeng...
