Case Study: Panasonic accelerates organic semiconductor discovery with Citrine Informatics

Panasonic boosts hole mobility by 25% with Citrine Informatics

Panasonic sought to reduce processing costs and increase performance for flexible organic semiconductors used in IoT applications. They faced the challenge of efficiently exploring a design space of millions of possible heteroacene molecules. They partnered with vendor Citrine Informatics to apply its AI platform to this materials development effort.

Citrine Informatics created a feasible design space and used its AI to guide Panasonic's physics-based simulations, focusing efforts on the most promising candidates. This approach resulted in the discovery of a molecule with a 25% calculated increase in hole mobility. The work yielded four patent-pending compounds and provided new scientific insights, all while performing only 196 calculations on a design space of over one million candidates.
