Hybrid halide perovskites are one of the new era solar cells and photocatalysts those are expected to solve global energy problems. Lead halogen compounds with Pb2+ at the B site, such as methylammonium lead iodines (MAPbI3, MA = CH3NH3) and formamidine lead iodines (FAPbI3, FA = HC(NH2)2), are easily produced at low cost, however, have disadvantages such as chemical instability and toxicity.
In this study, we aimed to search for new materials for lead-free perovskite solar cells and photocatalysts exploring the properties and elements of perovskite materials using statistics and machine learning. First-principles calculations on the perovskite ABX3 and the double perovskite material A2BB'X6, and 11,025 high-throughput screening data obtained by Nakajima and Sawada [1] were used as a data set. These depend on the number of elements contained in the B site and the combination of those groups, covering all 49 types of atoms in Groups 2 to 15. We used Python and Excel to summarize the data and build a multiple regression analysis prediction model using (a) crystal structure, (b) total energy, (c) value of direct transition gap, (d) value of indirect transition gap, (e) position of conduction band minimum and valence band maximum, (f) effective electron and hole masses, (g) existence of toxic elements, and (h) stability, as target properties of machine learning.
This research was supported by MEXT as "Priority Issue on Post-K computer” (Development of new fundamental technologies for high-efficiency energy creation, conversion/storage and use) and by JSPS KAKENHI in Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "Innovations for Light-Energy Conversion (I4LEC)".
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
