Haverford College received a $364,453 collaborative research project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded February 15, 2026, with completion targeted for January 31, 2029. The project delivers accelerated discovery of lead-free metal halide perovskitoids through integrated automation and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies. Primary deliverables include machine learning models trained on published experimental data to identify knowledge gaps and guide exploratory synthesis; robotic-compatible synthetic routes enabling iterative testing and refinement of these models; and automated AI-based assistants to support complex multistep research planning. The research addresses toxic metal contamination issues in halide perovskite materials currently used in photovoltaic solar cells, lighting, lasers, photodetectors, X-ray detectors, and catalytic applications. The project additionally produces broader research community tools through development of general-purpose AI methodologies applicable to materials chemistry beyond lead-free perovskites. Educational and workforce development components include undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researcher training in interdisciplinary data science and chemical experimentation, creation of undergraduate-level teaching resources for distribution to other institutions, and age-appropriate educational materials for K-12 students focused on materials design principles. These tangible outputs directly support the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's objective of strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise while addressing the critical national priority of developing sustainable materials technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
