Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with applications from chemical sensing to gas storage and separation. The development of MOFs for hydrogen storage is highly desired. Hydrogen is a clean source of energy and storing it within MOFs depends on their structure, stability, synthesis design and adsorption characteristics. The design space to obtain MOFs with suitable target properties can be aided by artificial intelligence methods that use few data for new discovery, such as active learning (AL) and the recent quantum AL (QAL) method. In this work, AL and QAL methods for MOF design were developed and tested in the search for MOFs and experimental conditions (temperature and pressure) that have enhanced hydrogen storage capability. Our aim is to explore the performance of these techniques in finding this optimum material within a known MOF data set. The AL methods investigated in this work use artificial neural network, support vector regression, classical and quantum Gaussian process (GP and QGP) as regression models for inference. Different uncertainty quantifications for the regression models were considered as well as different acquisition functions for decision making: to select the next MOF to be measured by further "experiments". The QAL performance in finding the optimum material and experimental conditions is reported. QAL uses QGP with a projected quantum kernel with a feature map with entanglement. A network graph method was developed to analyze the AL and QAL performance for MOFs search. The AL and QAL results applied in this known data set indicate that it is possible to search for MOFs with enhanced properties for hydrogen storage with very few data, being able to distinguish the optimum MOF and conditions from similar ones. This finding highlights the potential of classical and quantum "machines" (i.e.: AL and QAL methods) to indicate new MOFs to be synthesized with enhanced adsorption properties.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
