Before any perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are released for commercial use, their outdoor behaviour must be measured. This is an incredibly time consuming process that for relevant and slow degrading devices can last several months. In this work we demonstrate a flexible machine learning driven pipeline that can accurately determine the lifetime and degradation behaviour of any device, given short accelerated indoor tests. Additionally, by training our algorithm on different indoor tests, we are able to automatically determine the most relevant aging protocols, a process which so far relied heavily on intuition. Lastly, by identifying the most relevant stress factors, we can shed light on the outdoor degradation pathways. Our model has been tested on sollar cells fabricated in nip. Configuration of FTO/c-TiO2/m-TiO2/CsMAFAPb(IBr)3/Spiro-OmeTAD/Au in 6 different annealing temperatures. We verified the results by incorporating two a-priori known facts, namely that indoor aging under air will bear little relevance to outdoor degradation of encapsulated panels and aging under 1.4 sun and nitrogen is highly correlated to aging under 1.0 sun and nitrogen. Both effects were succesfully reconstructed by the model, therefore increasing the certainty that it can be applied at a larger scale. Finally, it must be noted that our methodology is not specific to PSCs and can be extended to other PV technologies where degradation and its mechanisms are a crucial element of their widespread adoption.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
