contents A key challenge in the development of materials for the next generation of solar cells, sensors and transistors is linking macroscopic device performance to underlying microscopic properties. For years, fabrication of devices has been faster than our ability to characterize them. This has led to a random walk of material development, with new materials being proposed faster than our understanding. We present two neural network-based methods for extracting key material parameters, including charge carrier mobility and trap state density, in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells. Our methods require solely measured light current--voltage curve and modest computational resources, making our approach applicable in even minimally equipped laboratories. Unlike traditional machine learning models, our methods place the final material values in a non-Gaussian likelihood distribution, allowing confidence assessment of each predicted parameter. We demonstrate these techniques using fresh PM6:Y12 and degraded PM6:BTP-eC9 organic solar cells.
