Investigation of structural transition and indirect-direct bandgap tuning of Cs2AuIAuIIIX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) via single-atom doping
Perovskite materials have captured research attention in recent years because of their potential use in photovoltaic (PV) applications. Herein, we have performed an examination of structural transition and indirect-direct band gap tuning of mixed-valence halide perovskites Cs2AuIAuIIIX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) via single-atom doping to determine their suitability for PV applications. The tetragonal-to-tetragonal phase transition is demonstrated from Cs2AuIAuIIIX6 to Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIIX6, and an indirect-direct band gap tuning is further observed for Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIIX6 (X = Cl and Br). Three doped perovskites are revealed to be dynamically and mechanically stable. From an analysis of mechanical properties, they are ductile materials. The appropriate band gaps for Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIICl6, Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIIBr6, and Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIII6 are predicted to be 1.276 eV, 1.057 eV and 1.078 eV, respectively. Further analysis of the reflectance and energy loss spectra shows relatively low peaks in the visible region. Meanwhile, the strong optical anisotropy and high visible absorption are illustrated. Overall, our study unveils that Cs2AgI0.5AuI0.5AuIIIX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) halide perovskites are highly expected to be viable alternatives for efficient solar energy conversion.
