Manipulation of Bi3+/In3+ Transmutation and Mn2+-Doping Effect on the Structure and Optical Properties of Double Perovskite Cs2NaBi1-xInxCl6

The halide double perovskite family represented by A 2 (B + ,B 3+ )X 6 can overcome the lead toxicity and enable generally large band gap engineering via B/B sites' transmutation or exotic dopants to fulfill the emerging applications in the optoelectronic fields. Herein, the design and the experimental synthesis of a new family of Mn 2+ -doped Cs 2 NaBi 1- x In x Cl 6 crystals with an intense orange-yellow emission band are reported, and the phase formation stability is discussed via a combined experimental–theoretical approach. Depending on the manipulation of Bi 3+ /In 3+ combination, the band gap increases with In 3+ content, and a subsequent evolution from indirect to direct band gap is verified. First-principles calculations and parity analyses indicate a parity forbidden effect on Cs 2 NaInCl 6 , and a combination effect of absorption on Cs 2 NaBi 1- x In x Cl 6 from both Cs 2 NaBiCl 6 and Cs 2 NaInCl 6 . The associated Mn 2+ -doped photoluminescence depending on the Bi 3+ /In 3+ substitution is also addressed from the variation of the different Mn–Cl environment and neighboring-cation effect.
