报告摘要：
To enable the ultimate commercialization of emerging Pb halide perovskite (ABX3) solar cell technology, extensive efforts have been undertaken to overcome the toxicity and air-instability issues, by identifying analogous nontoxic or low-toxicity and air-stable halide perovskite-based absorbers. Substituting Pb by a combination of monovalent and trivalent cations to form A2B(I)B(III)X6 halide double perovskites has been considered one attractive approach for achieving this goal. In this seminar, we systhemcaitlly report the electronic structure, thermodynamic stability, and defect properties of the prospective halide double perovskites, which are important aspects for photovoltaic absorber materials. We also highlight the materials design principles for promissing new perovskite-based photovoltiac absorbers.
