RESUMO
All-inorganic halide perovskites have drawn significant attention for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes due to their excellent optoelectronic properties and high stabilities. In this work, we report a systematic study on the material properties of all-inorganic bromide and chloride perovskite solid solutions, CsPb(Br1-x Cl x )3, varying the Cl content x from 0 to 1 with an interval of 0.1 by applying the first-principles method within the virtual crystal approximation. The lattice constants of the cubic phase are shown to follow the linear function of mixing ratio x, verifying that Vegard's law is satisfied and the pseudopotentials of the virtual atoms are reliable. We calculate the band structures with the HSE06 hybrid functional with and without spin-orbit coupling, yielding band gaps in good agreement with experimental results, and find that the band gap increases along the quadratic function of the Cl content x. With increasing Cl content x, the elastic constants and moduli increase linearly, the effective mass of the electron and hole increase, while mobilities decrease linearly, the static dielectric constant decreases linearly, and exciton binding energy increases quadratically. We calculate the photo-absorption coefficients and reflectivity, predicting the absorption peaks shift to the ultraviolet region from bromide to chloride.
