Abstract
Rapidly discovering functional materials remains an open challenge because the traditional trial-and-error methods are usually inefficient especially when thousands of candidates are treated. Here, we develop a target-driven method to predict undiscovered hybrid organic-inorganicEntities:

Fig. 1Lead-free HOIPs design framework. The material design framework combined with ML and DFT to efficiently search for stable Pb-free HOIPs with proper bandgap. The blue boxes represent the material screening process based on the ML algorithm generated from historical HOIP data. Then electronic properties and stability evaluation of these selected candidates are further calculated using DFT, which are shown in the green boxes
Fig. 2HOIPs input dataset for training and testing. a 212 high throughput HOIP structures. The combination of 11 small organic molecular species (A-site) and 32 divalent metals (B-site) constitutes the input samples of our ML model. X is a typical halide. b Data visualization in training (blue dots) and test (red dots) of tolerance factor and bandgap of HOIPs. The entire dataset consists of metals, semiconductors, and insulators
Fig. 3Importance and correlation of the selected features. a The 14 selected features are ranked using GBR algorithm. b The heat map of Pearson correlation coefficient matrix among the selected features for HOIPs
Fig. 4Results and insights from ML model. a The fitting results of test bandgaps and predicted bandgaps . Coefficient of determination (R2), Pearson coefficient (r) and mean squared error (MSE) are computed to estimate the prediction errors. The subplot is the convergence of model accuracy for five cross-validation split of the data. b Scatter plots of tolerance factors against the bandgaps for the prediction dataset from trained ML model (blue, red and dark gray plots represent train, test and prediction set, respectively). Data visualization of predicted bandgaps for all possible HOIPs (one color represents a class of halogen perovskites) with (c) tolerance factor, (d) octahedral factor, (e) ionic polarizability for the A-site ions, and (f) electronegativity of B-site ions. The dotted box represents the most appropriate range for each feature
