Abstract

We computationally investigate organometal CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 and mixed halide CH 3 NH 3 PbI 2 X perovskites (X = Cl, Br, I), which are key materials for high efficiency solid-state solar cells. CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 perovskites exhibited the expected absorption blue shift along the I → Br → Cl series. The mixed halide systems surprisingly showed the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 and the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 2 Cl (or CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3– x Cl x ) perovskites to have similar absorption onset at ∼800 nm wavelength, whereas CH 3 NH 3 PbI 2 Br absorbs light below ∼700 nm. To provide insight into the structural and electronic properties of these materials, in light of their application as solar cell active layers, we perform periodic DFT calculations on the CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 and CH 3 NH 3 PbI 2 X perovskites. We find a good agreement between the calculated band structures and the experimental trend of optical band gaps. For the mixed halide perovskites our calculations show the existence of two different types of structures with different electronic properties, whose relative stability varies by varying the X group. For these systems, the calculated formation energies decrease in the order I > Br > Cl, in line with the observed miscibility of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 and CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 compounds, while suggesting a comparatively smaller chlorine incorporation into CH 3 NH 3 Pb(I 1– x Cl x ) 3 compounds. We also show that Cl atoms preferentially occupy the apical positions in the PbI 4 X 2 octahedra, while Br atoms may occupy both apical and equatorial positions, consistent with reported lattice parameters. The interplay of the organic and inorganic components of the perovskites, possibly mediated by hydrogen bonding between the ammonium groups and the halides, seems to be the key to the observed structural variability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
