| contents | Even though thermodynamic energy-based crystal structure prediction (CSP) has revolutionized materials discovery, the energy-driven CSP approaches often struggle to identify experimentally realizable metastable materials synthesized through kinetically controlled pathways, creating a critical gap between theoretical predictions and experimental synthesis. Here, we propose a synthesizability-driven CSP framework that integrates symmetry-guided structure derivation with a Wyckoff encode-based machine-learning model, allowing for the efficient localization of subspaces likely to yield highly synthesizable structures. Within the identified promising subspaces, a structure-based synthesizability evaluation model, fine-tuned using recently synthesized structures to enhance predictive accuracy, is employed in conjunction with ab initio calculations to systematically identify synthesizable candidates. The framework successfully reproduces 13 experimentally known XSe (X = Sc, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn) structures, demonstrating its effectiveness in predicting synthesizable structures. Notably, 92,310 structures are filtered from the 554,054 candidates predicted by GNoME, exhibiting great potential for promising synthesizability. Additionally, eight thermodynamically favorable Hf-X-O (X = Ti, V, and Mn) structures have been identified, among which three HfV$_2$O$_7$ candidates exhibit high synthesizability, presenting viable candidates for experimental realization and potentially associated with experimentally observed temperature-induced phase transitions. This work establishes a data-driven paradigm for machine-learning-assisted inorganic materials synthesis, highlighting its potential to bridge the gap between computational predictions and experimental realization while unlocking new opportunities for the targeted discovery of novel functional materials. |
