PhD Physicist Drives Perovskite Solar Cell Advancements with AI and Robotics
Dr. Artem Musiienko, a physicist with a Ph.D. from Charles University in Prague and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship, has embarked on a mission to advance perovskite solar cell technology. His project, COMET-PV, is backed by the BMBF NanoMatFutur program.
Perovskite metal-halide, a broad material class with semiconducting properties, holds great promise for high-performance solar cells. However, these materials degrade when exposed to moisture, heat, and light, and some rely on toxic or rare elements. Dr. Musiienko aims to tackle these challenges in his project.
He plans to use robotics and AI to analyze variations in tin-based perovskite materials. To facilitate this, he will set up a measurement station for optoelectronic high-throughput measurements (HOME) focusing on these materials. The goal is to accelerate material research by a factor of 100 and achieve an efficiency of over 35%.
Dr. Musiienko's project, COMET-PV, involves industry partners from chemistry, robotics, instrumentation, and solar cell production. He will also establish a young investigator group at HZB and teach at Humboldt University of Berlin.
Dr. Artem Musiienko's work in the COMET-PV project could significantly enhance the efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells. His innovative approach, combining robotics, AI, and industry collaboration, seeks to overcome current obstacles in solar cell technology.
