Application of Machine Learning for Performance Analysis and Composition Tuning in Mixed Halide Cs2Ti(Cl1−xBrx)6 Solar Devices
摘要
The application of machine learning (ML) across diverse domains provides rapid advancements in various technologies by providing a framework for identification and a systematic approach to understanding material properties and their behaviour. ML in photovoltaic (PV) devices introduces a step-by-step methodology by which we can analyse the behaviour of a proposed PV device by comparing it with a comprehensive dataset. This study provides an 11-step methodology for implementing an ML model in simulating a double perovskite Cs2Ti(Cl1−xBrx)6-based solar cell, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/CdS/Cs2Ti(Cl1−xBrx)6/CBTS. Using SCAPS-1D, a comprehensive dataset comprising 3300 data points including variations in bandgaps, absorber thickness, shallow donor density, and total defect density was curated. Our results indicate that the ML model exhibits superior prediction reliability for double perovskite Cs2Ti(C1−xBrx)6 device parameters, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0045, an R-squared value of 0.999, and a cross-validation score of 0.99. The systematic use of various models including support vector regression (SVR), random forest, stacking SVR+RF, and XGBoost provides a deeper understanding of the interdependence of key performance parameters of a PV device.
