Abstract

At present, the cost-effective synthesis and stability are major concerns for perovskite halide, which are high-efficient light absorbing solar cell materials. In this work, the cesium lead halides CsPbX3 (where, X = I and Br) were synthesized by simple but unique cold sintering method. The structural (XRD and Raman), microstructural (SEM), electronic (XPS) and optical studies (UV–Visible spectra) revealed that the samples synthesized are in the single phase with Pnma symmetry. The thermal stability of the samples synthesized was explored by estimating ΔG and ΔS. A negligible change in crystal structure and band gap of the samples is observed after 100 days of synthesis showing the stability of samples in the ambient condition. Along with structure–property correlation, the thermo-optical correlation for halide materials has also been established. A comparative of the band gap (on the basis of synthesis technique) suggests the samples synthesised by cold sintering are at par with other synthesis technique.
