Since the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs is relatively low currently, their PCE must be further improved to better exploit their potential in the future. The use of carrier transport layers (CTLs) is essential to maximize the PCE of OSCs. Therefore, a model that can accurately and reliably describe the current voltage (J-V) characteristics of OSCs with CTLs is also essential. Such a model is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is based on the semiconductor drift–diffusion transport model, which is the standard physics-based approach for modeling semiconductor devices including solar cells. In obtaining the proposed model, the approximate electric fields and the approximate boundary conditions in OSCs with CTLs are derived and then applied to the carrier continuity equations, which are then solved using a recently proposed combined analytical and regression method. The use of the recently proposed method makes the proposed model to be more accurate than analytical drift–diffusion-based J-V models and more reliable than numerical drift–diffusion-based J-V models. We verify that the proposed model works well and show that it can provide insights into how to optimize the design and improve the PCE of OSCs with CTLs.

Moreover, the 3-input majority gate (MV3) is a foundational component within QCA circuits, making its improvement crucial for developing fault-tolerant circuits. One approach is to design MV3 that incorporates essential quantum cells within a single clock cycle.

However, enhancing their performance remains a major challenge, largely because existing material selection and optimization methods rely heavily on time-consuming, trial-and-error experimentation. To overcome these limitations, a hybrid framework combining temporal dynamic graph neural networks (TDGNN) and human evolutionary optimization (HEO) referred to as the TDGNN-HEO method is proposed for improving prediction accuracy and optimizing the efficiency of perovskite tandem solar cells. The main goal of this strategy is to precisely forecast cell performance and maximize PCE. TDGNN is used to capture temporal and structural dependencies among solar cell parameters, enabling precise prediction of short-circuit current. HEO is applied to optimize the neural network’s weight parameters, enhancing learning effectiveness and overall model performance. The methodology is implemented in MATLAB and evaluated against established techniques, including convolutional neural networks, random forest algorithm, and K-nearest neighbors. Results demonstrate that the TDGNN-HEO method achieves a PCE of 20.5%, significantly outperforming the benchmark models, which yield 18.7%, 15.5%, and 10.13%, respectively. In terms of prediction accuracy, TDGNN-HEO attains 97%, compared to 85%, 75%, and 65% for the other techniques.
