The application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in predicting electronic structures of nanoparticles is a complex task traditionally reliant on quantum mechanical calculations. The unique properties of nanoparticles, driven by quantum confinement effects at the nanoscale, are crucial in fields such as catalysis, electronics, and medicine. The study utilize advanced computational models, specifically Adaptive Tunicate Swarm Optimized Graph Neural Networks (ATSO-GNN), to accurately predict electronic density, energy states, and other properties of nanoparticles. The approach comprises data preprocessing with z-score normalization and feature extraction utilizing Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), which improves model sensitivity to minor electrical fluctuations. The ATSO-GNN model, trained on structural data from a nanoparticle dataset, demonstrates significant improvements in accuracy and computational efficiency over traditional methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT). Results indicate that the approach effectively captures complex atomic interactions, making it valuable for materials science and nanotechnology applications where rapid and precise electronic structure predictions are essential. Compared to standard methods, the ATSO-GNN model offers higher R2 (0.95) lower mean absolute error (MAE) (0.2) and lower computation times (1.5) enhanced prediction. This study demonstrates how AI-based methods significantly improve the speed and accuracy of electronic structure predictions.
