Overview

Randomized trial predicts melting points in nonionic deep eutectic solvents, indicating efficient formulation design.

Key Points

To develop machine learning models to predict the melting points of various nonionic deep eutectic solvents.
Analyzed 1824 experimental measurements from 139 binary nonionic deep eutectic systems.
Utilized the XGBoost machine learning model for prediction analysis.
Employed SHAP analysis to determine the influence of molecular descriptors on melting points.
XGBoost model achieved R2 = 0.909, RMSE = 17.8 K, MAE = 10.8 K.
Mixture-weighted descriptors explain 58% of feature importance, highlighting HBA–HBD interactions.
Hydrogen bond donor properties had a greater influence on melting points (16.6%) than acceptor characteristics (9.9%).
