SHENZHEN, China – October 31, 2026 -- A previously disclosed hydrogen-production catalyst collaboration supported by Wenge AI's ScienceOra platform reported a 38% improvement in catalyst activity and cut the design stage from several months to 30 minutes. Wenge AI (1956.HK) demonstrated the platform's catalyst design workflow at the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit.
ScienceOra is Wenge AI's research decision platform, built on the ScienceOne Scientific Foundation Model. It combines scientific models, professional literature, research data and tools to support information access, research-plan development and scientific decision-making in specialist fields such as materials development.
ScienceOra drafts high-entropy alloy catalyst candidates from published literature
The summit demonstration centered on a high-entropy alloy catalyst for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction, with targets of high activity and durability. ScienceOra searched professional literature and drew on published research methods and elemental properties to develop candidate designs. It also cross-checked optimization proposals against relevant literature, giving researchers references they can review and verify.
Researchers remain responsible for assessing scientific validity and setting subsequent research directions.
Platform extends from experimental protocols to industrial screening criteria
For experimental planning, ScienceOra can develop research protocols around candidate designs, help organize experimental variables and produce testing standard operating procedures (SOPs) and reference information for validation.
On the industrial side, the platform supports comparative analysis across five dimensions:
- feasibility of scaled hydrogen production
- performance at industrially relevant current densities
- durability
- raw-material availability
- compatibility with mass-production synthesis processes
It can then help establish decision priorities, screening criteria and process-improvement recommendations. Candidate designs, experimental plans, process recommendations and references can be consolidated into a structured research report so R&D teams can weigh scientific evidence against engineering constraints. Experimental testing and scientific validation remain essential, according to the company.
ScienceOra launches on Tencent WorkBuddy with more than 30 research agents
ScienceOra was recently made available on Tencent WorkBuddy, with an initial offering of more than 30 research expert agents and skills. They cover literature analysis, research hypotheses, plan design, modeling and simulation, validation analysis and research communication.
Wenge AI said the 38% activity gain and the reduction in design time come from the earlier industry-research collaboration, where ScienceOra supported literature analysis and research-plan development.
