Abstract

The prediction of the properties of inorganic compounds by data-driven machine learning methods has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of materials science. In this work, the machine learning models of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), kernel ridge regression (KRR), Gaussian process regression (GPR), random forests regression (RFR), support vector regression (SVR) and gradient boosting regression (GBR) were utilized to predict band gaps of ternary oxides for phosphor hosts. The results show that the GBR is a robust and feasible model with higher performance. Besides, the importance of each feature is analyzed quantificationally based on the GBR model. It indicates that two features (i.e., the average of molar heat capacity and the range of metallic valence) play a great role in affecting the predictive performance of band gaps. Besides, the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) is used to elaborate the results from the GBR model. This work not only demonstrates the feasibility of machine learning to predict band gaps based only on the chemical composition but also contributes to the prediction of the other properties of inorganic materials..
