Abstract

Hydrogen is a promising clean energy carrier, but its low energy density necessitates advanced storage solutions. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) offer high tunability and porosity for efficient hydrogen adsorption. This work combines Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations with machine learn...
