Table 6. Emerging AI techniques for potential applications of AI in perovskite solar research.

AI technique Application area Advantages Limitations Ref.
Machine learning Material screening and composition prediction Rapid identification of stable, high-efficiency materials reduces experimental workload Requires large, high-quality datasets; may over fit to known materials 153
Neural networks Modelling degradation kinetics Model nonlinear relationships between fabrication parameters and PCE; adaptable to new data Often lacks interpretability; sensitive to noise in training data 154
Explainable AI Manufacturing optimization, material recovery, and decision support Provides insights into model decisions; improves trust and transparency Still emerging in materials science; limited toolkits 155
Support vector machines Classification of degradation patterns and failure modes Effective for small datasets; robust to overfitting Less effective for large, noisy datasets; limited scalability 156
Convolutional neural networks Image-based defect detection in perovskite films High accuracy in visual inspection enables real-time quality control Requires labeled image datasets; computationally demanding 148
