Abstract
In this study, the structural stability, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of K2(Se,Te) Br6 halide double perovskites were investigated using first-principles calculations. By applying Born stability and tolerance factor criteria, the structural stability of the compounds was confirmed. Band structure analysis revealed that K2SeBr6 and K2TeBr6 exhibit semiconducting indirect band gaps of 2 eV and 2.42 eV, respectively. Additionally, a study of the optical properties utilizing the dielectric constants indicated that both substances display minimal reflectivity, remaining below 18%, alongside remarkably high absorption coefficients reaching around 105 cm−1 in the visible spectra. Furthermore, the thermoelectric properties were explored through the BoltzTraP simulation package, revealing a Seebeck coefficient and noteworthy electrical conductivity. These outcomes underscore the versatility of these materials, suggesting their potential suitability for various applications such as solar cells and thermoelectric devices.
