This article comprehensively elaborates on the optoelectronic, thermoelectric, and thermodynamic characteristics of K2CuBiX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) double perovskite materials. The materials exhibit good mechanical stability and ductility, and their thermodynamic parameters indicate their existence. Furthermore, the double perovskite materials are of significant importance for optoelectronic applications, featuring broad absorption bands and minimal dispersion.
The double perovskites are promising aspirants for renewable energy applications. In present article, optoelectronic, thermoelectric, and thermodynamic characteristics are elaborated comprehensively for K2CuBiX6 (X = Cl, Br, I). The elastic constants show the mechanical stability and ductile nature. The tolerance factor (0.92 to 0.89) ensure structural stability and formation energy (-1.59 to-0.72 eV) show thermodynamic existance. The mechanical analysis confirms the ductile nature, large melting and Debye temperatures enhance their importance for device fabrication. The band gaps 1.21 eV, 0.94 eV, and 0.70 eV computed from band structures illustrate the importance of studied DPs for optoelectronic applications. The broad absorption band, and least dispersion are calculated from optical parameters. Moreover, the transport characteristics are analyzed by electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and Figure of merit. Thermodynamic parameters conclude the large Debye temperature, and ultralow lattice thermal conductivity.
