By skillfully combining AI with fully automated high-throughput synthesis, an international research team was able to find new organic molecules within just a few weeks. The molecules proposed by the AI made it possible to build solar cells with above-average efficiency, including those that outperform other state-of-the-art materials. The results of the research work were published in the renowned journal Science.
The pv magazine currently reports on this.
Perovskite solar cells are considered a flexible and sustainable alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells. Within just a few weeks, researchers have now discovered new organic molecules that can be used to increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. The international team also includes scientists from HI ERN. The scientists skillfully combined the use of AI with fully automated high-throughput synthesis. The strategy developed can be transferred to other areas of materials research, such as the search for new battery materials. The results of the research work were published in the renowned journal Science. (To press release)
