Janjua Chemical similarity-based design of materials for organic solar cells: Visualizing the generated chemical space of polymers
Potential candidates for photovoltaic applications can be found using chemical similarity analysis. Compounds
with similar structural characteristics may perform similarly. Designing of materials for organic solar cells (OSCs)
is a difficult and time-consuming process. An existing polymer database is mined to find polymers for OSCs, three
polymers (PM6, PBT7-Th, and D18) are used as standard. However, good polymers are not found from this
database. A large database of polymers is generated using an automatic method that is implemented on RDkit.
Synthetic accessibility of generated polymers is calculated. Similarity analysis is conducted to search the polymers
from the generated database. Similarity analysis is performed using Tanimoto index. Large number of
potential candidates for polymer solar cells are found. Structure Activity Landscape Index (SALI) plot is used to
quantitatively characterize activity landscapes.
Groundwater-dependent vegetation (GDV) plays a vital role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Mediterranean biome but is increasingly threatened by climate and land use…
Plant functional traits are fundamental to ecosystem dynamics and Earth system processes, but their global characterization is limited by available field surveys and trait measurements.
Sabkhas, or salt marshes, are important wetland habitats that play a vital role in capturing and storing carbon. This research examines the capacity of six salt marshes to sequester…
