Transparent conducting oxides (TCMs) are large band gap materials (to favor transparency) doped with electrons (n-type) or holes (p-type). TCMs are essential to many technologies from solar cell to transparent electronics and there is currently a large effort towards the discovery of new TCMs. I will present the results of a high-throughput computational search for new TCMs especially directed at p-type materials. Focusing on low effective masses (leading to high mobility), large band gaps and dopability, I will show how thousands of compounds can be screened using various ab initio techniques (from density functional theory to GW) to find new potential high performance TCMs. I will discuss several unsuspected compounds with promising electronic structures and when available link our findings to experimental results. Beyond the description of those novel TCM candidates, I will chemically rationalize our findings, highlighting several design strategies towards the development of future high mobility TCMs.
