We propose an evaluation system to choose appropriate materials for solar cells. A fuzzy DEMATEL information procedure was used for decision-making to gather information and analyze the casual relationship. These data acquired were partitioned into causal and impact bunches, empowering users to gather an improved understanding of the intelligent relationship among them, as well as making recommendations for changes to upgrade their general execution. The proposed approach can deliver a compelling fabric choice assessment with satisfactory criteria that fit the respondent’s discernment designs; particularly, these evaluation dimensions are interlaced. Recommendations are given to assist government authorities to plan a Taiwan solar cell industry approach and for industries to develop commerce techniques for improvement in the solar cell field.

Abstract Despite the significant advancement of the data-driven studies for physical science, the textual data that are numerous in the literature are not fully embraced by the physics and materials community. In this manuscript, we successfully employ the natural language processing (NLP) technique to unsupervisedly predict the existence of solar cell types including the dye-sensitized solar cells and the perovskite solar cells based on literatures published prior to their first discovery without human annotation. Enlightened by this, we further identify possible solar cell material candidates via NLP starting with a comprehensive training database of 3.2 million paper abstracts published before 2021. The NLP model effectively predicts the existing solar cell materials, while an uncommon solar cell material namely PtSe2 is suggested as an appropriate candidate for the future solar cells. Its optoelectronic properties are comprehensive investigated via first-principles calculations to reveal the decent stability and optoelectronic performance of the NLP-predicted candidate. This study demonstrates the viability of the textual data for the data-driven materials prediction and highlights the NLP method as a powerful tool to reliably predict the solar cell materials.

Described simply, singlet fission is a process in which a singlet excited molecule transfers about half of its excitation energy to a neighbor molecule, both end up in their triplet state, and the two triplet excitations diffuse apart. The process is of interest for solar cells. Used in conjunction with ordinary solar cell material, a layer of singlet-fission material offers an opportunity to utilize higher energy photons more efficiently. The maximum theoretical efficiency is then close to 1/2 instead of the Shockley-Queisser value of 1/3 that applies to an ordinary single-junction cell. The problem that prevents an immediate production of singlet fission solar cells is the dearth of sufficiently stable efficient materials. The formulation of simple rules for the design of suitable compounds for the purpose is discussed.
