This research uses a hierarchical machine learning approach to predict the band gap (Eg) of double perovskite oxides. Two machine learning models—a classification model to identify wide band gap materials (Eg ≥ 0.5 eV) and a regression model to predict the Eg values of those materials—are trained on a large dataset of DFT calculations. This process efficiently screens a vast chemical space of 5.2 million potential double perovskite compositions, identifying 310 high-probability candidates for experimental investigation. The models are analyzed to gain insights into band gap prediction, and design maps illustrate the band gap variation with element substitution.
