This study proposes the use of four nature-inspired algorithms in a random forest (RF) model to predict hydrogen storage. The RF model with particle swarm and gray wolf optimizations (PSO and GWO) demonstrates high accuracy in both the train and test phases. Sensitivity analysis reveals the importance of temperature, total pore volume, specific surface area, and micropore volume in hydrogen uptake. This research contributes to sustainable energy development and offers insights into the design of porous carbon adsorbents.
Porous carbons as solid adsorbent materials possess effective porosity characteristics that are the most important factors for gas storage. The chemical activating routes facilitate hydrogen storage by adsorbing on the high surface area and microporous features of porous carbon-based adsorbents. The present research proposed to predict H-2 storage using four nature-inspired algorithms applied in the random forest (RF) model. Various carbon-based adsorbents, chemical activating agents, ratios, micro-structural features, and operational parameters as input variables are applied in the ML model to predict H-2 uptake (wt%). Particle swarm and gray wolf optimizations (PSO and GWO) in the RF model display accuracy in the train and test phases, with an R-2 of similar to 0.98 and 0.91, respectively. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the ranks for temperature, total pore volume, specific surface area, and micropore volume in first to fourth, with relevancy scores of 1 and 0.48. The feasibility of algorithms in training sizes 80 to 60% evaluated that RMSE and MAE achieved 0.6 to 1, and 0.38 to 0.52. This study contributes to the development of sustainable energy sources by providing a predictive model and insights into the design of porous carbon adsorbents for hydrogen storage. The use of nature-inspired algorithms in the model development process is also a novel approach that could be applied to other areas of materials science and engineering.
