Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated materials discovery, current approaches remain constrained by fragmented data, limited physical consistency, and weak integration with experimental validation. Here, we propose a unified framework that integrates coherent data infrastructure, physics-grounded modeling, and AI-driven inverse design within a closed-loop discovery paradigm. By constraining optimization with thermodynamics, kinetics, uncertainty, provenance, and experimental feedback, this approach enables adaptive, physically consistent optimization, thereby establishing a pathway toward autonomous, digital-twin-enabled discovery of HSMs.
1
Hydrogen storage materials discovery is limited by coupled multiscale thermodynamics, kinetics, microstructural evolution, fragmented data, and insufficient experimental integration.
2
Optimization is constrained by thermodynamics, kinetics, uncertainty, data provenance, and experimental feedback to promote physically consistent material design.
3
The framework enables adaptive optimization and establishes a pathway toward autonomous, digital-twin-enabled discovery of solid-state hydrogen storage materials.
4
The proposed framework unifies coherent data infrastructure, physics-grounded modeling, and AI-driven inverse design in a closed-loop discovery paradigm.
