What is it about?
Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning to Improve the efficiency of Indoor Perovskite Solar Cells Our research is all about making indoor solar cells more efficient. We've used a type of artificial intelligence called Machine Learning to find new materials that can be used in these solar cells. These materials, known as wide bandgap perovskites, can absorb light more effectively, which means they can generate more power. But why does this matter? Well, as we continue to use more and more electronic devices in our homes and offices, we need to find sustainable ways to power them. Indoor solar cells could be the answer, but they need to be efficient to be truly effective. Our research takes a big step in that direction. In simple terms, we're using smart technology to find better materials for solar cells, which could help us power our indoor devices in a more sustainable way. It's an exciting development in the field of renewable energy, and we're eager to see where it leads.

Why is it important?
Title: **Why is it Important?** Our work stands at the intersection of artificial intelligence and renewable energy, two of the most rapidly advancing fields of our time. We've used Machine Learning, a powerful AI tool, to identify new materials that can significantly improve the efficiency of indoor solar cells. This is a unique approach that hasn't been widely explored before. The timing is crucial too. As we become more reliant on electronic devices in our homes and workplaces, the demand for sustainable power sources is growing. Indoor solar cells could be a game-changer, but they need to be as efficient as possible to meet our energy needs. Our research could help accelerate the development of these high-efficiency solar cells. The potential impact of our work is significant. By improving the efficiency of indoor solar cells, we could help reduce our reliance on non-renewable energy sources and move towards a more sustainable future. This could have far-reaching implications for our environment, our economy, and our way of life.
Perspectives
As part of the team that conducted this research, we are both humbled and excited by our findings. Our journey into the intersection of artificial intelligence and renewable energy research has been a challenging, yet rewarding endeavor. The discovery of machine learning's potential in predicting the efficiency of perovskite materials for indoor solar cells has been a significant step forward. It's a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and its ability to drive innovative solutions. This research, we believe, has not only contributed to the scientific community but also holds potential to make a real-world impact by advancing the development of more efficient indoor perovskite solar cells. Our team views this research as a significant milestone in our collective academic journey. It has strengthened our belief in the power of innovation and the importance of research that contributes to a sustainable future. We are eager to explore the potential applications of our findings and continue our work in this exciting field.
