Deep learning based on small sample dataset: prediction of dielectric properties of SrTiO-type perovskite with doping modification.

The perovskite crystal structure represents a semiconductor material poised for widespread application, underpinned by attributes encompassing heightened efficiency, cost-effectiveness and remarkable flexibility. Notably, strontium titanate (SrTiO)-type perovskite, a prototypical ferroelectric dielectric material, has emerged as a pre-eminent matrix material for enhancing the energy storage capacity of perovskite. Typically, the strategy involves augmenting its dielectric constant through doping to enhance energy storage density. However, SrTiO doping data are plagued by significant dispersion, and the small sample size poses a formidable research hurdle, hindering the investigation of dielectric property and energy storage density enhancements. This study endeavours to address this challenge, our foundation lies in the compilation of 200 experimental records related to SrTiO-type perovskite doping, constituting a small dataset. Subsequently, an interactive framework harnesses deep neural network models and a one-dimensional convolutional neural network model to predict and scrutinize the dataset. Distinctively, the mole percentage of doping elements exclusively serves as input features, yielding significantly enhanced accuracy in dielectric performance prediction. Lastly, rigorous comparisons with traditional machine learning models, specifically gradient boosting regression, validate the superiority and reliability of deep learning models. This research advances a novel, effective methodology and offers a valuable reference for designing and optimizing perovskite energy storage materials.
