Rapid Parameter Prediction in Perovskite Solar Cells via AI-Assisted Performance Analysis

Metal halide perovskites are highly promising for photovoltaics, yet their complex physics makes comprehensive device characterization challenging. Here, we introduce a machine learning approach that enables holistic, high-precision characterization of perovskite solar cells from an impedance (EIS) measurement. By training a Random Forests Median Leaf Value model on over 50,000 drift-diffusion simulations, our model simultaneously predicts 12 critical device parameters, including ion dynamics and densities, carrier mobilities, and recombination properties, with high accuracy (R2 > 0.99). This approach advances prior work by extracting a more complete parameter set while alleviating the nonuniqueness problem through information-rich EIS input features. We rigorously validate the model against experimental values and closed-loop verification. Applying this technique to triple-cation perovskites with varying compositions reveals intriguing underlying trends, demonstrating its power to uncover complex structure–property relationships. This work establishes ML-driven frameworks for rapid, reliable device analysis to accelerate photovoltaic optimization.

Abstract

Metal halide perovskites are highly promising for photovoltaics, yet their complex physics makes comprehensive device characterization challenging. Here, we introduce a machine learning approach that enables holistic, high-precision characterization of perovskite solar cells from an impedance (EIS) measurement. By training a Random Forests Median Leaf Value model on over 50,000 drift-diffusion simulations, our model simultaneously predicts 12 critical device parameters, including ion dynamics and densities, carrier mobilities, and recombination properties, with high accuracy (R2 > 0.99). This approach advances prior work by extracting a more complete parameter set while alleviating the nonuniqueness problem through information-rich EIS input features. We rigorously validate the model against experimental values and closed-loop verification. Applying this technique to triple-cation perovskites with varying compositions reveals intriguing underlying trends, demonstrating its power to uncover complex structure–property relationships. This work establishes ML-driven frameworks for rapid, reliable device analysis to accelerate photovoltaic optimization.
