研究目的
To investigate correlations among properties, structural information, or molecular descriptors of polymer materials, specifically focusing on organic photovoltaic (OPV) donor polymers to identify factors positively correlating with power conversion efficiency (PCE).
研究成果
The data science pipeline combining SOM and molecular descriptor generation effectively identifies correlations between polymer structural information and performance. Key findings include the positive correlation of PCE with the number of fluorine atoms and photon energy loss, and the observation that high PCE materials typically have 6 to 9 aromatic rings and branched side chains with 7 to 12 non-Hydrogen atoms.
研究不足
The study focuses on 2D molecular descriptors and does not consider 3D descriptors due to their complexity and convoluted impacts on outputs. The method's effectiveness is demonstrated on fullerene acceptor systems, and its applicability to non-fullerene acceptor systems is suggested but not explored in depth.
