H2 box and metal oxide simulation

Dear LAMMPS users

I am simulating a metallic oxide nanoparticle in a hydrogen box, for this I am using two potentials, according to the literature they work very well for the two separate materials, however when joining a single system I find certain drawbacks because there is not much evidence how to use in a hybrid way specifically these two potentials.
It is important to indicate that the hydrogen atoms were placed with zero charge.

The script is as follows

There are special rules for the arguments of manybody potentials, which allow only one pair_coeff commands (like airebo) and then additional tweaks to that, when they are used within a hybrid pair style. This is all explained in the documentation for the respective pair styles.
