- Abstract
The all-inorganic lead-free vacancy-ordered perovskite offers a promising avenue toward nontoxic, stable optoelectronic materials. Herein, we present a first-principles study of the structural stability, optical absorption, electronic structure, and some mechanical behavior of Cs2BCl6, a class of materials with B-site substitutions (B = Ge, Sn, Pb, Cr, Mo, W, Ti, Zr, and Hf). The structural analysis shows that the Cs2BCl6perovskite with face-centered cubes has a stable chemical environment, especially those with high-energy B-site ions (Cs2HfCl6, Cs2WCl6, and Cs2PbCl6). Hf4+and W4+with high-energy d-state external electron configurations can further lower the valence band maximum position of the Cs2BCl6structures and thus increase the band gap, assisting in tuning the optical absorption and emission properties of these structures in the optoelectronic application. For the light absorption properties of Cs2BCl6materials, the best light absorption properties have been concluded for Ti4+, Cr4+, and Pb4+-based perovskite in the visible range due to a suitable band gap. Therefore, their excellent option absorption and electronic properties make these vacancy-ordered perovskites promising candidates for optoelectronic applications.
