contents Stability is one of the key issues in mixed-halide perovskite alloys which are promising in emergent optoelectronics. Previous density-functional-theory (DFT) and machine learning studies indicate that the formation-energy convex hulls of these materials are very shallow, and stable alloy compositions are rare. In this work, we revisit this problem using DFT with special focus on the effects of configuration and vibration entropies. Allowed by the $20$-atomic models for the $\text{CsPb}(\text{I}_{1-x}^{}\text{Br}_x^{})_3^{}$ and $\text{CsPb}(\text{Br}_{1-x}^{}\text{Cl}_x^{})_3^{}$ series, the partition functions and therewith thermodynamic state functions are calculated by traversing all possible mixed-halide configurations. We can thus evaluate the temperature- and system-dependent configuration entropy, which largely corrects the conventional approach based on the ideal solution model. Finally, temperature-composition phase diagrams that include $α$, $β$, $γ$ and $δ$ phases of both alloys are constructed based on the free energy data, for which the contribution of phonon vibrations is included.
