Abstract

High prospects for different optoelectronic applications have drawn much effort towards hybrid double perovskites for the commercialization of environmentally friendly Pb-free non-toxic perovskites. Herein, the optoelectronic study of (MA)NaBiX (MA= methylammonium; X=Cl,Br, I) hybrid double perovskites by ab initio simulation was investigated. (MA)NaBiBr and (MA)NaBiCl have indirect X-M bandgaps while (MA)NaBiI have indirect X- bandgap of 2.98 eV, 3.64 eV and 2.32 eV respectively. The results also show that the iodide-based compound, (MA)NaBiI exhibits superior optoelectronic properties compared to the bromide and chloride-based compounds, (MA)NaBiBr and (MA)NaBiCl. These findings indicate that the (MA)NaBiI hybrid double perovskite is a potential material for optoelectronic applications owing to its high absorption coefficient (on the order of 106cm-1), dielectric constant (), and refractive index (2.50) in addition to its high formation energy, which shows its stability.
