contents Understanding atomic hydrogen (H) diffusion in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) is essential for advancing clean energy technologies such as H transport, storage, and nuclear fusion applications. However, the vast compositional space and the intricate chemical environments inherent in MPEAs pose significant obstacles. In this work, we address this challenge by developing a multifaceted machine learning framework that integrates machine-learning force field, neural network-driven kinetic Monte Carlo, and machine-learning symbolic regression. This framework allows for accurate investigation of H diffusion across the entire compositional space of body-centered cubic (BCC) refractory MoNbTaW alloys, achieving density functional theory accuracy. For the first time, we discover that H diffusion in MPEAs exhibits super-Arrhenius behavior, described by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann model, where the Vogel temperature correlates with the 5th percentile of H solution energy spectrum. We also derive robust analytical expressions that can be used to predict H diffusivity in general BCC MPEAs. Our findings further elucidate that chemical short-range order (SRO) generally does not impact H diffusion, except it enhances diffusion when "H-favoring" elements (notably Nb and Ta) are present in low concentrations. These findings not only enhance our understanding of H diffusion dynamics in general MPEAs but also guide the development of advanced MPEAs in H-related applications by manipulating element type, composition and SRO.
