Abstract

Abstract Recently, lead-free halide double perovskite (DP) materials have got scholarly attention owing to their environmentally sustainable characteristic, excellent stability and potential applications in solar cells and renewable energy. In this present article, we computationally examined the mechanical, optoelectronic and thermoelectric characteristics of a discernible compound Li2AgAlY6 (Y = Cl, Br, I) using the density functional theory (DFT). The evaluation of tolerance factor (tf), lattice constant (a0), and formation enthalpy (Hf) confirms the structural and thermodynamic stability of the investigated double DPs, also elastic constants further elaborate the mechanically stable nature. The studied compounds have direct band gap of 3.6 eV, 2.6 eV and 1.2 eV for Li2AgAlCl6, Li2AgAlBr6 and Li2AgAlI6 respectively, indicating the diverse energy absorption applications from ultraviolet to visible region. We used semi-classical Boltzman theory to determine the figure of merit (ZT) and corresponding Seebeck Coefficient (S), which validates the electrical and thermoelectric conductivity for the compounds under investigation. The current investigation establishes a theoretical foundation for the examined DPs, essential for comprehending and comparing forthcoming experimental inquiries aimed at exploring diverse optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications.
