We present the Liquid Electrolyte Composition Analysis (LECA) package as a versatile tool, which implements a simplified and semi-automatic workflow for data-driven and machine-learning guided analysis of large data sets, particularly designed for but not limited to High-Throughput-Experiments (HTE). The LECA package combines popular python-based libraries like scikit-learn, Mapie and GPyOpt to enable fast parallel training, hyperparameter-optimization, model comparison, and uncertainty calculation for various regression models. An active learning approach to reduce the amount of data needed to fit a model with high accuracy is under current development and testing.

We demonstrate the performance of the LECA package on a large HTE dataset for the ionic conductivity as an important bulk property of liquid electrolytes with over 200 individual compositions measured, including the organic electrolytes EC, EMC, and PC, and the lithium salts LiPF6 and LiFSI. Furthermore, we show how the LECA package can be used to optimize the ionic conductivity and discover new compositions.
