The all-inorganic lead-free perovskite Cs₂TiBr₆ has the advantages of good optoelectronic properties, adjustable bandgap, and environmental friendliness. It is a kind of light-absorbing material with great potential. To improve the related properties of Cs₂TiBr₆, the first-principles-based method was used to study the structure of Pd and Cl doped Cs₂TiBr₆ perovskite. The results show that the impurity band was generated after replacing Ti with Pd, which transforms the original indirect bandgap Cs₂TiBr₆ into a direct bandgap material. After doping with 25.0% Pd, the bandgap value of the crystal was reduced by 26%, and the absorption capacity of the doped crystal in the nearultraviolet region of 320-415 nm was enhanced by about 50%. In the infrared and near-infrared regions of 645-900 nm, the light absorption capacity was enhanced by about 134%. On this basis, when Cl was co-doped with 25.0% Pd, Cl doping can reduce the formation energy of Pd by about 9% based on single doping, and the position of Cl doping also affects the photoelectric properties of the material.
