909 hypothetical ternary phosphosulfides were screened using DFT, identifying 19 previously unknown thermodynamically stable compounds, including the first Si- and Ge-based phosphosulfides. This demonstrates the power of computational screening to rapidly expand the materials design space.
A multi-fidelity machine learning model was developed for rapid and accurate band gap prediction, translating semilocal DFT band gaps into experimentally calibrated values with a Mean Absolute Error of 0.14 eV. This model significantly reduces computational cost while maintaining high predictive accuracy.
The study successfully demonstrated a route to high-throughput synthesis and characterization using thin-film combinatorial libraries. This method enables the synthesis of over 100 unique compositions per experiment, leading to the rapid discovery of four distinct phosphosulfide compounds without prior recipes.

Case Study: Rapid Discovery of Ag3PS4
Using the AI-enhanced workflow, we synthesized Ag3PS4, a known thermodynamically stable phosphosulfide, without prior synthesis recipes. This demonstrated the workflow's capability to validate known materials and rapidly explore new phases, bypassing traditional trial-and-error. The band gap for Ag3PS4 was accurately predicted by the ML model as 2.3 eV, matching experimental results within error.
