研究目的
Investigating the structural, electronic, optical, thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of ethyl-ammonium germanium iodide (CH3CH2NH3GeI3 or EAGeI3) as a potential photovoltaic absorber material.
研究成果
The study concludes that EAGeI3 is a direct band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 1.3 eV, high absorption coefficient (>104 cm-1), and suitable thermoelectric properties, making it a promising material for photovoltaic applications. The thermodynamic properties suggest stability under various temperatures and pressures.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and lacks experimental validation. The thermoelectric properties calculations assume a constant relaxation time and do not account for the influence of doping level on the band structure.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in the WIEN2k code. PBE and TB-mBJ exchange-correlation potentials were used for calculations.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on the theoretical investigation of CH3CH2NH3GeI3, a lead-free hybrid halide perovskite.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational tools and software (WIEN2k code) were used for the theoretical calculations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The calculations included structural optimization, electronic structure analysis, optical properties determination, and thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties evaluation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involved the use of DFT for electronic structure, optical properties calculation using dielectric function, and thermoelectric properties evaluation using BoltzTrap simulation code.
