PSCs have excel- lent prospects for next-generation photovoltaics due to their great optical absorption, high carrier mobility, and adjustable direct band gaps. Commercialization is still severely ham- pered by insufficient stability under environmental stress, where long-term stability is cru- cial. The stability problem is addressed in this thesis by combining two approaches into a single materials design process. First, the band gap of double perovskites is predicted us- ing composition-based characteristics alone employing a high-through ensemble machine learning algorithms. As a result, stable and effective candidates may be quickly screened without incurring the computational expense of comprehensive quantum computations. Second, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and hybrid HSE06 functionals are used in the density functional theory calculations (DFT) for a specific type of mixed-halideCsPb(I1–xBrx)3 alloys. In order to capture atomic disorder and allow for a thorough examination of struc- tural, electronic, and optical characteristics, these systems are represented using the spe- cial quasirandom structure (SQS) technique.The workflow connects the two approaches in which DFT refines and tests the stability and optoelectronic behavior of potential com- positions identified by machine learning at the atomic level. The results indicate that, with only a little decrease in apparent absorption, bromide inclusion improves structural stabil- ity, linearly adjusts the band gap, and modifies band offsets based on surface termination.
This study shows a productive, data-driven approach to finding and improving stable, high-performance perovskites by combining predictive modeling with focused first-principles simulations. The strategy may be used to balance environmental resilience and efficiency when customizing materials for silicon-based tandem solar cells. | | note de thèses : | Thèse de doctorat en physique |
