Abstract

Perovskite solar cells are a recent solar cell technology that could expand the application area for photovoltaics compared to the current, commercially available solar panel technologies. Materials used in successful perovskite solar cell devices should be robust enough to survive years or decades of operation. This talk explores the development of more robust perovskite materials for perovskite solar cells, specifically with machine learning -assisted approaches. Similar approaches can facilitate compositional or process optimization of also other types of materials, as well as the inference of experimental results.
