Progress in solid-state hydrogen storage is constrained by time-consuming experiments and scarce high-quality data, limiting effective use of machine learning. To address this, we present an adaptive learning (AL) framework that integrates uncertainty quantification within a closed-loop workflow for targeted material optimization. Unlike static models, it adaptively selects compositions to maximize information gain and improve predictive performance. As a proof of concept, we predict pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) isotherms of Mg-Ni-La systems using literature data for Mg-Ni. The framework identifies informative compositions across Mg fractions (92%-4%) and temperatures (300-633 K), demonstrating effective exploration of the chemical space. For ten unseen compositions evaluated sequentially, accuracy reaches 80% within five cycles, with predictions aligning well with experiments. This establishes a family-specific predictive tool for Mg-Ni-based systems, while the underlying AL framework is broadly applicable to other chemical families with modest initial experimental datasets.
