研究目的
To figure out the fundamental properties of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3SnI3 with the idea of replacing Pb with Sn in future due to toxicity concerns.
研究成果
CH3NH3SnI3 shows considerable photovoltaic properties with lower band gap energies compared to CH3NH3PbI3, making it a promising non-toxic alternative for solar cell applications. Electron transfer mechanisms are similar, indicating good potential for use in solar cells.
研究不足
The study is computational and relies on theoretical models; experimental validation is not included. Potential limitations in the accuracy of DFT approximations and the need for further experimental studies to confirm findings.
