An AI-accelerated pathway for reproducible and stable halide perovskites

Abstract

Halide perovskites (HPs) have remarkable optoelectronic properties, and in the last decade their photovoltaic power conversion efficiency and light-emitting diode efficiency have skyrocketed. Despite the surge in research on these burgeoning materials, two key challenges in the field remain: material irreproducibility and instability. Their behavior is especially dynamic in response to environmental stressors, due to complex interactions with the perovskite crystal lattice. In this review, we survey the latest achievements in HP materials research accomplished with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI), through the implementation of automated experimentation and machine learning (ML) data analysis. Automated synthesis and characterization tackle problems with material irreproducibility by systematically controlling parameters with very high precision, creating massive datasets, and allowing methodical comparisons from which unbiased conclusions can be drawn. AI can reveal otherwise unnoticed trends, inform future experiments with the highest potential information gain, and forecast future performance. The review concludes with a forward viewpoint of how human-assisted closed-loop laboratories and shared databases allow halide perovskite materials’ processing, properties, and performance to be potentially optimized with AI, accelerating the development of highly reproducible and stable optoelectronic devices.
