| Summary: | Doping lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO<sub>2</sub>) cathode materials is an effective strategy for mitigating the detrimental phase transitions that occur at high voltages. A deep understanding of the relationships between cycle capacity and the design elements of doped LiCoO<sub>2</sub> is critical for overcoming the existing research limitations. The key lies in constructing a robust and interpretable mapping model between data and performance. In this study, we analyze the correlations between the features and cycle capacity of 158 different element-doped LiCoO<sub>2</sub> systems by using five advanced machine learning algorithms. First, we conducted a feature election to reduce model overfitting through a combined approach of mechanistic analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Second, the experimental results revealed that RF and XGBoost are the two best-performing models for data fitting. Specifically, the RF and XGBoost models have the highest fitting performance for IC and EC prediction, with R<sup>2</sup> values of 0.8882 and 0.8318, respectively. Experiments focusing on ion electronegativity design verified the effectiveness of the optimal combined model. We demonstrate the benefits of machine learning models in uncovering the core elements of complex doped LiCoO<sub>2</sub> formulation design. Furthermore, these combined models can be employed to search for materials with superior electrochemical performance and processing conditions. In the future, we aim to develop more accurate and efficient machine learning algorithms to explore the microscopic mechanisms affecting doped layered oxide cathode material design, thereby establishing new paradigms for the research of high-performance cathode materials for lithium batteries. |
