摘要: Lead-free organic-inorganic halide perovskites have gained much attention as nontoxic alternatives to CH3NH3PbI3 in next-generation solar cells. In this study, we examined the geometric and electronic properties of methylammonium germanium iodide CH3NH3GeI3 using density functional theory. Identifying a suitable accurately model is crucial allow theoretical investigation for tuning optoelectronic properties. The performance various functionals (PBE, PBE+D3, PBEsol, PBEsol+D3, HSE06, HSE06+D3) has been evaluated modelling structure calculation was further refined by quasiparticle GW method on optimized geometries, that an excellent agreement with experiment. We report from our calculations characteristic states resembles effective masses charge carriers are comparable well silicon used commercially available
