Area of Science:

Materials Science
Solid State Physics
Renewable Energy

Background:

Hybrid lead halide perovskites are promising for photovoltaics due to excellent optoelectronic properties.
The presence of toxic lead in these materials poses environmental concerns.
Developing lead-reduced alternatives is crucial for sustainable solar energy.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of novel lower-lead perovskites (FAPb0.5Sn0.25Ge0.25X3).
To evaluate their photovoltaic performance, including open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and power conversion efficiency.
To compare these properties against traditional lead-based perovskite structures (FAPbX3).

Main Methods:

Utilized density functional theory (DFT) for systematic property analysis.
Calculated electronic band gaps, adsorption coefficients, and stability metrics.
Modeled photovoltaic parameters such as open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current density (Jsc), and power conversion efficiency (η).

Main Results:

The novel perovskites (FAPb0.5Sn0.25Ge0.25X3) exhibit suitable band gaps for solar cell applications, with iodine compounds showing lower gaps than chlorine.
Germanium and tin doping significantly enhance adsorption coefficients and material stability compared to lead-only counterparts.
FAPb0.5Sn0.25Ge0.25Cl3 demonstrated the highest calculated photovoltaic efficiency, despite a decrease in Jsc from iodide to chloride variants.

Conclusions:

The studied lower-lead perovskites show potential for environmentally friendly and efficient photovoltaic devices.
FAPb0.5Sn0.25Ge0.25Cl3 emerges as a promising candidate for high-efficiency solar cells.
This research contributes to reducing the environmental impact of perovskite solar cells while improving their experimental power conversion efficiency.
