AgBiS₂ as a low-cost and eco-friendly all-inorganic photovoltaic material: nanoscale morphology-property relationship.

ABSTRACT: Solar cells made of low-cost solution-processed all-inorganic materials are a promising alternative to conventional solar cells made of high-temperature processed inorganic materials, especially because many high-temperature processed inorganic materials contain toxic element(s) such as lead or cadmium (e.g., CsPbI₃ perovskite, PbS, CdTe and CdS(Se)). AgBiS₂ nanocrystals, consisting of earth-abundant elements but without lead and cadmium, have already emerged as a promising candidate in high-performance solar cells. However, the nanoscale morphology-optoelectronic property relationship for AgBiS₂ nanocrystals is still largely unknown. Herein, we investigate the electronic properties of various AgBiS₂ nanocrystals by using first-principles
