Title: Machine-Learning-Assisted Enhancement of Perovskite Stability and Photovoltaic Performance

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1885163· OSTI ID:1885163

Lab scale perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have reached power conversion efficiencies on par with silicon solar cells. Their potential for low-cost manufacturing combined with high performance make them attractive for commercialization. The major challenge impeding widespread development of PSCs is their stability. Halide perovskites are vulnerable to decomposition in the presence of moisture, oxygen, light, and heat. Furthermore, the chemical differences between halide perovskites and conventional semiconductors used in photovoltaics (e.g., silicon, chalcogenides, and III-V compounds) may render established accelerated lifetime testing protocols inaccurate.
