A new framework combining graph neural networks and reinforcement learning has been proposed to design high-efficiency organic photovoltaic (OPV) molecules.
The integrated approach includes large-scale pretraining of graph neural networks and a Generative Pretrained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) based reinforcement learning strategy.
The proposed approach has predicted efficiencies approaching 21%, and provides design guidelines for enhancing power conversion efficiency (PCE).
To support further discovery, the largest open-source OPV dataset is being built, and collaboration with experimental teams is planned for synthesizing and characterizing AI-designed molecules.
