This study explores the potential of corannulene, a nanomaterial renowned for its exceptional electronic properties, to optimize battery performance by fine-tuning its dielectric properties. Traditionally, such optimization methods have been limited to conventional approaches. However, this research adopts a novel machine learning methodology utilizing an experimental dataset encompassing five key features: “frequency,” “real part,” “imaginary part,” “dielectric strength,” and “dielectric loss.” These features are employed to train various machine learning models, including baseline, ensemble-tree, and boosting techniques, with the aim of predicting optimal values for dielectric loss (to minimize negative impact) and dielectric strength (to maximize efficiency). Subsequently, a Nelder-Mead optimization algorithm, coupled with a stacking model, is employed to determine the optimal range for these features, thereby enhancing battery performance. Promising results are obtained, with Ensemble Tree Regression (ETR) and Stacking models achieving remarkable R<sup>2</sup> scores of 0.9973 and 0.9995 for predicting dielectric loss and dielectric strength, respectively. The Nelder-Mead optimization, guided by these machine learning models, effectively recommends optimal ranges for corannulene nanomaterial properties. Notably, ETR and Stacking based optimization outperform other models.
