机器学习在平面钙钛矿光伏中被广泛用于筛选有效有机分子添加剂,但受限于小样本数据和预定义描述符,常出现对新材料的预测偏差。本文提出一种名为Co-PAS(Co-Pilot for Perovskite Additive Screener)的机器学习驱动框架,通过引入分子骨架分类器(MSC)进行骨架级预筛选,并利用连接树变分自编码器(JTVAE)的潜在向量增强分子结构表征,显著提升功率转换效率(PCE)预测精度。基于该框架,结合领域知识对来自PubChem的25万种分子进行筛选,依据预测PCE值及给电子能力、偶极矩、氢键受体数等关键性质排序。该流程成功识别出多个有前景的钝化分子,包括一种此前未在钙钛矿太阳能电池中研究过的新型分子——Boc-L-苏氨酸N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯(BTN),其器件实现25.20%的光电转换效率。结果表明Co-PAS在高性能钙钛矿太阳能电池添加剂发现中具有巨大潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Machine learning (ML) has been extensively employed in planar perovskite photovoltaics to screen effective organic molecular additives, while encountering predictive biases for novel materials due to small datasets and reliance on predefined descriptors. Present work thus proposes an effective approach, Co-Pilot for Perovskite Additive Screener (Co-PAS), an ML-driven framework designed to accelerate additive screening for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Co-PAS overcomes predictive biases by integrating the Molecular Scaffold Classifier (MSC) for scaffold-based pre-screening and utilizing Junction Tree Variational Autoencoder (JTVAE) latent vectors to enhance molecular structure representation, thereby enhancing the accuracy of power conversion efficiency (PCE) predictions. Leveraging Co-PAS, we integrate domain knowledge to screen an extensive dataset of 250,000 molecules from PubChem, prioritizing candidates based on predicted PCE values and key molecular properties such as donor number, dipole moment, and hydrogen bond acceptor count. This workflow leads to the identification of several promising passivating molecules, including the novel Boc-L-threonine N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (BTN), which, to our knowledge, has not been explored as an additive in PSCs and achieves a device PCE of 25.20%. Our results underscore the potential of Co-PAS in advancing additive discovery for high-performance PSCs.
