Appropriate energy-level alignment in non-fullerene ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) can enhance the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), due to the simultaneous improvement in charge generation/transportation and reduction in voltage loss. Seven machine-learning (ML) algorithms were used to build the regression and classification models based on energy-level parameters to predict PCE and capture high-performance material combinations, and random forest showed the best predictive capability. Furthermore, two sets of verification experiments were designed to compare the experimental and predicted results. The outcome elucidated that a deep lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the non-fullerene acceptors can slightly reduce the open-circuit voltage ( ) but significantly improve short-circuit current density ( ), and, to a certain extent, the could be optimized by the slightly up-shifted LUMO of the third component in non-fullerene ternary OSCs. Consequently, random forest can provide an effective global optimization scheme and capture multi-component combinations for high-efficiency ternary OSCs.
在非富勒烯三元有机太阳能电池(OSC)中,适当的能级匹配可以提高功率转换效率(PCE),这是由于电荷产生/传输得到同步改善且电压损失降低。使用七种机器学习(ML)算法基于能级参数构建回归和分类模型,以预测PCE并捕捉高性能材料组合,随机森林表现出最佳预测能力。此外,设计了两组验证实验来比较实验结果和预测结果。结果表明,非富勒烯受体的深最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO)会略微降低开路电压( ),但会显著提高短路电流密度( ),并且在一定程度上,非富勒烯三元OSC中第三组分略微上移的LUMO可以优化 。因此,随机森林可以为高效三元OSC提供有效的全局优化方案并捕捉多组分组合。
