Tuning the properties of ASnTe 3 (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) chalcogenide perovskites for optimal solar energy conversion: computational insights

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: DFT study reveals ASnTe 3 perovskites as tunable, lead-free candidates for photovoltaics (Na/Rb/CsSnTe 3 ) and thermoelectrics (Li/KSnTe 3 ), with optimal band gaps (0.27–1.32 eV), low thermal conductivity, and ductile mechanical properties.
