Retrieve literature evidence in a conversation

#Prepare indexed literature

Create a knowledge base in Resources → Knowledge Assets and upload literature you can use. Wait for indexing before starting this exercise. See Parsing and parameter extraction for processing status.

This exercise organizes interface-treatment methods from papers. Use public papers already available to you. Documentation screenshots use the public paper Reducing nonradiative recombination….

#1. Select the knowledge bases for this turn

Open Research, start a conversation and choose Knowledge bases below the composer. Search and select the intended bases, then check the selected count.

You can select up to 10 per turn. Start with related papers to keep the scope easy to inspect. For a knowledge-base-only exercise, turn off web search and specify the source scope in the request.

#2. Ask for a defined output

Use only the knowledge bases selected for this turn to find papers about
perovskite interface treatments.
For each paper, list the title or DOI, treatment material, interface,
fabrication method, reported temperature and duration, and test conditions.
Provide source evidence for each item. Mark unreported information as “not recorded”.
Organize the evidence first without ranking the designs.

Inspect the processing view and sources in the response. Keep gaps when the literature does not answer a field. This exercise does not prescribe a paper count or performance value.

#3. Verify a parameter in the document

Choose a cited temperature or duration from the response. Open the paper in the knowledge base, switch to evidence text and locate the corresponding passage.

Check the value and unit, material or sample, process step and applicable conditions. Preparation, deposition and annealing may have different temperatures and durations.

#4. Narrow the question in a follow-up

Compare only the interface-treatment steps in two of the papers already found.
Separate explicitly reported information from missing information,
and list the parameters still needed to reproduce those steps.

Continue in the same conversation to retain the discussed records. Recheck the selected knowledge bases when switching to another set of papers.

#Adjust a search with no matches

Check the selected bases and indexing status first. Then narrow the query using a paper title, full material name or synonym. If the source contains information omitted from the answer, identify the paper and section in a follow-up.

Use the knowledge graph to follow layer and process relationships. See Reading research results to retain sources with your findings.
