Sumario:Hydrogen fuel cells have long been regarded as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is a promising long-term, safe method of producing carbon-neutral hydrogen. ESR products are (CeCO<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) support generate hydrogen (H<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) with byproducts such as carbon dioxide (CO<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) and carbon monoxide (CO). The researchers are interested in the quantification and estimation of syngas components. The current article introduces the Johnsen index-based measure in partial least squares (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><mi>L</mi><mi>S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) for predicting ESR products with cube, polyhydra, and rod morphologies, based on FTIR. The proposed method makes use of existing filter measures such as loading weights, variable importance on projection, and significant correlation. The proposed <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><mi>L</mi><mi>S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> measures based on the Johnsen index outperform the existing methods for predicting ESR products based on FTIR spectroscopic data. For (H<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) conversion percent prediction with cube and polyhedra morphologies, the functional compounds (C-O), (C=O), (CH), and (C-H,=CH<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) are common. Similarly, the functional compound (s-RCH=CHR) is frequently used for (H<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) conversion percent prediction with polyhedra and rod morphologies. Moreover, on simulated data, the proposed Johnsen measure in <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><mi>L</mi><mi>S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> demonstrates higher sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, the proposed Johnsen measure in <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><mi>L</mi><mi>S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> identifies influential wavenumbers that map over the functional compounds.
