“…Note that two cations simultaneously substituting the toxic Pb could completely eliminate the toxic Pb and enhance the thermal stability, such as in the double-perovskite Cs 2 AgInCl 6 . , Motivated by this, employing a two-cation doping method might be a promising way. In general, the d orbitals of the Cu dopant could enhance the optical absorption, and the Ge dopant could reduce the band gap accompanied by reduced exciton binding energy, which is important for the optoelectronic performance. , Hence, employing Ge and Cu cations simultaneously to substitute the Pb component (viz codoping) might be favorable to realize the environment-friendly high-performance perovskites. It should be noted that nevertheless, the charge states of Ge and Cu cations are different from those of cations in double perovskites, so that the roles, such as the doping position, stability, and so on, of these cations are disparate.…”
