Three-dimensional (3D) iodide double perovskites (elpasolites) are extremely rare due to inherent instability issues. Here, we report the discovery of an air-stable elpasolite semiconductor in form nanocrystals with composition Cs2AgSbI6, synthesized via halide exchange from Cs2AgSbBr6 nanocrystals. This composition, previously considered thermodynamically unstable based on computational predictions, shows a ∼1.8 eV optical gap near-infrared photoluminescence. The stable air up at least 140 °C. As one only few known examples intermediate-bandgap 3D perovskites, Cs2AgSbI6 represents promising platform for further development this family materials as well fundamental and optoelectronic investigations.

The breakthrough in 2012 showed how next-generation solar cells lead to perovskite-based materials and devices. Perovskite (PSCs) have achieved power conversion efficiency (PCE) ∼26.1% on rigid ∼25.09% flexible substrates. long lifetime of ∼8760 h is reported for PSCs using Pb-based perovskites as an absorber. However, the question Pb toxicity still a major issue commercialization path. poor stability Pb-related hinder their industrial applications. various efforts from past decade resulted development tin halide perovskites, defect-structured double perovskite-inspired such rudorffites. PCE these newly developed falls short that corresponding Pb-halide-based perovskites. Hence, herein, review present status Pb-free perovskite related cell devices will be discussed. Further, summarize recent developments free useful cells. Sn-, Ge-, Sb-, Bi-based combinations would explored futuristic use In summary, latest progress, outstanding challenges, future directions thin films, nanocrystals also reviewed. focus optical optoelectronic properties give researchers today tomorrow who are working field may join shortly.
