Abstract
With the demand for renewable energy and efficient devices rapidly
increasing, a need arises to find and optimize novel (nano)materials. This
can be an extremely tedious process, often relying significantly on trial
and error. Machine learning has emerged recently as a powerful alter-
native; however, most approaches require a substantial amount of data
points, i.e., syntheses. Here, we merge three machine-learning models with
Bayesian Optimization and are able to dramatically improve the quality
of CsPbBr3nanoplatelets (NPLs) using only approximately 200 total syn-
theses. The algorithm can predict the resulting PL emission maxima of
the NPL dispersions based on the precursor ratios, which lead to previ-
ously unobtainable 7 and 8 ML NPLs. Aided by heuristic knowledge, the
algorithm should be easily applicable to other nanocrystal syntheses and
significantly help to identify interesting compositions and rapidly improve
their quality.
1 Introduction
Halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), first demonstrated in 2014, have been
rapidly improved, yielding tunability throughout the visible spectrum, quantum

Figure 1: Scheme of the optimization process: Initially existing data points (syn-
theses) were analyzed and used to predict a spectral figure of merit (FoM) based
on the narrowness and symmetry of their PL spectra using Gaussian Processes
in combination with a Random Forest and a Neural Network. Constrained
Bayesian optimization subsequently leverages the information of the artificial
intelligence step to provide suggestions for new compositions. For each cycle,
14 new syntheses were carried out and characterized. The amended dataset is
subjected to a new optimization cycle.
yields approaching 100%, and diverse geometries and sizes.Schmidt et al. [2014]
Due to their exceptional properties, PNCs have already been incorporated into
diverse applications, focusing on optoelectronics such as LEDs, solar cells, and
photodetectors, but also in field-effect transistors and, even more recently, pho-
tocatalysis. Shamsi et al. [2019a], Abiram et al. [2022], Zhang et al. [2017],
Gao et al. [2017], Shyamal et al. [2020] Despite these impressive improvements,
several issues impede widespread commercialization, such as stability, lead toxi-
city, and spectral efficiency in the blue region of the visible spectrum.Schoonman
[2015], Schileo and Grancini [2021], Weng et al. [2022] This latter effect is due
to the chloride-perovskites being far from defect tolerant, resulting in extremely
poor efficiencies compared to bromide- and iodide-based perovskites. Ye et al.
[2021] Another way to tune the spectral response in PNCs is through quantum
confinement. Especially, 2D nanoplatelets (NPLs) are ideal in this regard, as
they exhibit no inhomogeneous broadening in the confined dimension, with only
incremental thickness values possible - currently between 2 and 6 monolayers
(MLs). Bohn et al. [2018] Analogous to the bulk-like Ruddlesden-Popper per-
ovskitesStoumpos et al. [2016], their strong confinement can enable directional
emission, boosting maximum external quantum efficiencies to 28%.Morgenstern
et al. [2020] The quality of these colloidal quantum wells has improved signifi-

cantly; however, the quantum yields are still far from unity, and reproducibility
is an issue. Improving the NPL quality or that of any NC dispersion is an ardu-
ous task, involving a vast possible number of parameters relating to composition
and fabrication. Synthesizing all of these is both infeasible and unnecessary, as it
is possible to create robust and data-efficient predictors to describe the outcome
of changes in fabrication parameters.Mayr et al. [2022] Artificial neural networks
(ANNs) have been widely used to approximate the quantities of interest,Chen
and Pao [2019], Regonia et al. [2020] but success has also been achieved with,
e.g., random forests and support vector machines. Baum et al. [2020], Rickert
et al. [2021] It seems clear that no algorithm is universally superior, but rather
each may be more suited for specific applications.Wolpert and Macready [1997]
Despite their impressive results, these methods occasionally suffer from extrap-
olation into areas of input space with sparse or no data. Therefore, material
science is a fertile ground for applying methods with inbuilt uncertainty quan-
tification functionalities, such as Gaussian processes (GPs), which are especially
attractive given their data efficiency and robustness against overfitting.Li et al.
[2020], Zhang and Xu [2020], Seko and Ishiwata [2020] These methods provide
an excellent set of predictors to determine the effect that different fabrication
and chemical parameters have on the resulting material properties. Neverthe-
less, the optimal values of these parameters are not trivially determined. This
field has lately been dominated by Bayesian optimization. In this scheme, the
value of the predicted objective function is weighted against the intrinsic un-
certainty of the prediction to balance the exploration of new areas against the
exploitation of already acquired information.Balachandran et al. [2018], Voznyy
et al. [2019]. However, this has required a massive experimental effort to achieve
impressive results. In the future, models to optimize novel materials must fo-
cus on two aspects: incorporating multiple properties to increase the versatility
of the targeted materials and reducing the number of syntheses necessary to
achieve good results.
In this study, we develop a model addressing both of these issues as illus-
trated in Figure 1. By combining Gaussian processing with a neural network
and a random forest classifier, we can significantly reduce the demand for op-
timizing the synthesis of 2D CsPbBr3-based NPLs. The algorithm uses three
precursor amounts to predict the emission wavelength of the resulting NPLs
and the quality, i.e., the homogeneity of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra.
Starting from a pool of 100 initial syntheses, we carried out seven rounds of op-
timization. The algorithm produced 14 new precursor combinations, which were
then used for synthesis and the PL of the resulting dispersions measured. For
all previously synthesized NPL thicknesses (2-6 ML), we significantly reduced
the width and asymmetry of the PL emission, signifying higher homogeneity.
Additionally, the algorithm effectively predicted precursor combinations leading
to hitherto unobtained, thicker NPLs (7 and 8 MLs). The algorithm’s perfor-
mance was exceptional, especially considering the small amount of necessary
experimental synthesizing.
