Due the alarming rate of climate change, the implementation of efficient CO_2 capture has become crucial. This project aims to create an algorithm that predicts the uptake of CO_2 adsorbing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) by using Machine Learning. These values will in turn gauge the efficiency of these MOFs and provide scientists who are looking to maximize the uptake a way to know whether or not the MOF is worth synthesizing. This algorithm will save resources such as time and equipment as scientists will be able to disregard hypothetical MOFs with low efficiencies. In addition, this paper will also highlight the most important features within the data set. This research will contribute to enable the rapid synthesis of CO_2 adsorbing MOFs.
