Structural, electrical, optical properties and stability of Cs2InBr5-yXy·H2O (X = Cl, I, y = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) perovskites: the first principles investigation
“…Using GGA-PBE, the Poisson ratio values of Rb 2 SeBr 6 and Rb 2 SeBr 6 are greater than 0.26, suggesting that they are ductile in nature. This is consistent with the results reported by [18]. The use of GGA-PBEsol, however, suggest that the two materials are brittle in nature, since the Poisson ratio values are ≤ 0.26.…”

“…A material with a Poisson's ratio less than 0.26 is said to be brittle, whereas a material with a Poisson's ratio more than 0.26 is a ductile material. The result of Rb 2 SeCl 6 is comparable with result reported by [18]. Using GGA-PBE, the Poisson ratio values of Rb 2 SeBr 6 and Rb 2 SeBr 6 are greater than 0.26, suggesting that they are ductile in nature.…”

“…Their electronic structure calculation shows that these double perovskite materials are indirect band gap semiconductors. As suggested by [18], A 2 SeCl 6 and A 2 SeBr 6 can be used to make a variety of optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and so on.…”
Thermo-electric (TE) material applications reduce reliance on traditional energy resources by converting heat to electric energy. We have studied, for the first time, the thermo-electric properties of Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl). Using norm-conserving pseudo potentials in a plane wave basis set of Quantum Espresso code, the optoelectronic, elastic and thermo-electric properties of Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl) have been investigated using density functional theory. Generalized Gradient Approximation of Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE) and Generalized Gradient Approximation of Perdew Burke Ernzerhof adapted for Solid (GGA-PBESol) exchange correlation functionals were employed in all calculations. The band structure plots suggest that the studied double perovskites have indirect band gaps. Rb2SeBr6 band gap values of 1.7574/ 1.569 eV (using GGA-PBE/PBEsol) are remarkably similar to that of two effective inorganic/organic perovskites FAPbI3 and MAPbI3 . Maximum peaks generated from refractive index results indicate possible solar cell uses of the materials because they are in the visible and ultraviolet ranges. The results of other optical properties such as absorption coefficients, electron energy loss, conductivity, and reflectivity concludes that Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl) have good values for electron generation, high potential for applications in the optoelectronic industry and are semiconductor in nature. The calculated shear anisotropy values of Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 are 3.09/1.71, suggesting that they are isotropic materials. With calculated Poisson’s ratio of 0.32 and 0.26, the materials are predicted to be ductile in nature. The two materials are appropriate for thermo-electric applications since their thermal to electrical conductivity ratio are small (the order of 10-5). The calculated minimum values of Seebeck coefficient values of 0.198×103 / 0.166 ×103 (mV/K) at 750 K, for Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 are positive, indicating that they have p-type conduction. Figure of merit values at all temperature range considered are greater than one (ZT > 1) for both Rb2SeBr6 and Rb2SeCl6, suggesting that they are good thermo-electric materials. The results of the calculations provide the basis for the industrial application of Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 as solar cells.

“…Therefore, developing a highly promising green chemical route remains an unexplored frontier and relatively limited. [31][32][33] The growth of Cs 2 InBr 5 (H 2 O) single-crystal or micro-crystals in the presence of HBr has been previously reported. It is important to note that the design and growth of Cs 2 InBr 5 (H 2 O) crystals is still in its initial stages.…”
The crystallization behavior of halide perovskites is of great significance. Fractal structures, featured by self-similarity between local morphology and global structures, have consistently captivated scientists’ interest across diverse disciplines. In...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
