EXTENDED ABSTRACT: As electronic devices continue to miniaturize, the precise fabrication of electronic thin films has become critically important. The development of electronic thin films is highly influenced by compositional ratios, structural combinations, and processing parameters. Therefore, our laboratory has independently developed the first highly integrated high-throughput intelligent experimental platform for electronic thin film and optoelectronic device research in China, based on a high-precision multi-channel pipetting system. This platform comprises five major modules: autonomous parameter design, high-throughput thin film fabrication, high-throughput device assembly, high-throughput optoelectronic characterization, and intelligent spectroscopic data analysis. The platform supports daily solution preparation throughput up to 10⁴, thin film fabrication throughput up to 10³, and analysis throughput exceeding 10⁴ per day. Through this comprehensive high-throughput fabrication, high-throughput characterization, and intelligent analysis chain, we successfully optimized complex perovskite semiconductor thin films (ABX3). Building on these stable perovskite films, we further fabricated ultrastable perovskite solar cells, demonstrating the advantages of this data-driven research paradigm.
