| General Description of the Research Project | While the efficiency of organic solar cells has dramatically improved in recent years, interfacial losses remain a serious issue. This research aims to develop a virtual optimization platform for semiconductor interfaces in organic solar cells. The platform will compute device properties from first principles and will identify optimal interface compositions using machine learning and evolutionary algorithms. Its reliability will be extensively benchmarked against experimental data. The platform will be a step towards a new materials informatics paradigm device level virtual screening. |
