Study of the Electronic, Optical, and Photovoltaic Properties of Lead-Free Double Perovskite Cs₂AgBiCl₆ Through DFT Calculations
摘要
This study investigates the structural, electronic, optical, and photovoltaic properties of the lead-free double perovskite Cs₂AgBiCl₆ using density functional theory (DFT). Key optical properties, including dielectric function, absorption, reflectivity, refractive index, energy loss function, and optical conductivity, are analyzed within the [0–10 eV] energy range using the Meta-GGA approach. The optimized lattice parameters are 7.67 Å (Meta-GGA) and 7.77 Å (GGA-PBE), with bandgap energies of 2.14 eV and 1.89 eV, respectively. Photovoltaic performance is assessed through parameters such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current density (Jsc), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and electrical power (P). A maximum Jsc of 15.34 mA/cm2 is achieved at a thickness of 700 nm, highlighting the influence of thickness on device efficiency. These findings demonstrate the potential of Cs₂AgBiCl₆ for photovoltaic applications and provide a theoretical foundation for future experimental studies.
