Abstract
In this paper, the stability and photoelectric properties of lead-free double perovskites Cs2TlSbI6 and Rb2TlSbI6 were
explored based on first-principles calculations. The thermodynamical, and mechanical stability of two perovskites are
guaranteed by the negative formation enthalpy and Born-Huang stability criterion. The elastic constants show that two
perovskites are ductile and anisotropic. The calculated band gap values are 1.196 eV for Cs2TlSbI6 and 1.103 eV for
Rb2TlSbI6, respectively. Moreover, the perovskites Cs2TlSbI6 and Rb2TlSbI6 exhibit great light absorption, dielectric function,
and conductivity. In conclusion, the perovskites Cs2TlSbI6 and Rb2TlSbI6 are suitable for solar cells due to their great
photoelectric performances.
