A Comprehensive DFT Insight on Thermoelectric Response of Halide Perovskites TlGeZ3 (Z = Cl, Br and I) for Renewable Energy Devices
摘要
The diverse perovskites are considered innovative solids for optoelectronic devices and photovoltaic cells. We investigated the structural, electrical, phonon dispersion, mechanical, optical, as well as transport properties of TlGeZ3 (Z = Cl, Br, I) using calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). A phonon dispersion shows the examined materials' structural stability and formation energy of the TlGeZ3 (Z = Cl, Br, I) compound, whilst positive phonon dispersion frequencies and elastic constants supported thermal and mechanical stability. In addition, the brittle and ductile behavior of the Poisson and Pugh ratios are investigated. The mechanical investigation has also documented the Debye and melting temperatures. The bandgap is tuned from 2.43 eV, 0.94 eV, and 0.57 eV with a modified Becke Johnson (mBJ) approximation by replacing Cl with Br and I. The optical spectrum reveals a transition
