摘要:

由于其高能量转换效率和廉价的制造路线,基于金属有机卤化物钙钛矿的太阳能电池作为一种颠覆性技术迅速获得了突出地位。钙钛矿吸收剂的一个有吸引力的特征是通过化学前体改变元素组成来定制其性能的可能性。在这种情况下,合理的计算机设计代表了一个强大的工具,用于绘制广阔的材料景观和加速发现。在这里,我们表明,金属卤化物钙钛矿的光学带隙,太阳能电池的关键设计参数,强烈相关的一个简单的结构特征,最大的金属卤化物金属键角。使用这个描述符,我们建议从中红外到可见光的光学间隙的连续可调性。精确的带隙工程是通过控制键角通过空间大小的分子阳离子。基于这些设计原则,我们预测新的低带隙钙钛矿最佳的光伏效率,我们证明了带隙调制的概念,通过合成和表征新的混合阳离子钙钛矿。

英文摘要:

Owing to their high energy-conversion efficiency and inexpensive fabrication routes, solar cells based on metal-organic halide perovskites have rapidly gained prominence as a disruptive technology. An attractive feature of perovskite absorbers is the possibility of tailoring their properties by changing the elemental composition through the chemical precursors. In this context, rational in silico design represents a powerful tool for mapping the vast materials landscape and accelerating discovery. Here we show that the optical band gap of metal-halide perovskites, a key design parameter for solar cells, strongly correlates with a simple structural feature, the largest metal-halide-metal bond angle. Using this descriptor we suggest continuous tunability of the optical gap from the mid-infrared to the visible. Precise band gap engineering is achieved by controlling the bond angles through the steric size of the molecular cation. Based on these design principles we predict novel low-gap perovskites for optimum photovoltaic efficiency, and we demonstrate the concept of band gap modulation by synthesising and characterising novel mixed-cation perovskites.
