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.
