High-Throughput Computational Assessment of Previously Synthesized Semiconductors for Photovoltaic and Photoelectrochemical Devices — Korina Kuhar, •Mohnish Pandey, Kristian Thygesen, and Karsten Jacobsen — Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Lyngby - 2800, Denmark
We use computational screening to identify materials as light absorbers for photovoltaic (PV) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices. The screening is carried out on already synthesized compounds present in the ICSD database although yet unexplored for the PV and PEC applications. With thorough analyses of the properties like light absorption, charge carrier mobility, and defect tolerance we identify 74 materials including few already explored PV and PEC absorbers. Several recently investigated light absorbers such as CsSnI3, CsSnBr3, and BaZrS3 also appear on the list.
