Description

This ML-HydPARK dataset provides a csv file of metal hydride compositions, capacities, and thermodynamic values that can be used as target properties for building, training, and testing machine learning models. It has been parsed and cleaned from the DOE’s original publicly available HydPARK database according to the procedure in [1] to make it more suitable for immediate use with data-driven models. Generally, this removed duplicate entries, removed entries missing critical data, and attempted to fix various entries with obvious errors in the data. It is continuously updated under version control as new metal alloy hydrides are published in the open literature. Most entries contain data on the enthalpy and entropy of the hydriding reaction, as well the maximum hydrogen capacity, for which compositional machine learning models can be trained [1,2].
