| contents | Lead-free perovskite materials have emerged as key players in optoelectronics, showcasing exceptional optical and electronic properties, alongside being environmentally friendly and non-toxic elements. Recently, among studied perovskite materials, vacancy-ordered double perovskites (VODPs) stand out as a promising alternative. In this study, we captured the electronic, optical, excitonic, and polaronic properties of a series of VODPs with the chemical formula Rb$_{2}$BX$_{6}$ (B = Si, Ge, Sn, Pt; X = Cl, Br, I) using first-principles calculations. Our results indicate these materials exhibit high stability and notable electronic and optical properties. The calculated G$_{0}$W$_{0}$ bandgap values of these perovskites fall within the range of 0.56 to 6.12 eV. Optical properties indicate strong infra-red to ultraviolet light absorption across most of the systems. Additionally, an analysis of excitonic properties reveals low to moderate exciton-binding energies and variable exciton lifetimes, implying higher quantum yield and conversion efficiency. Furthermore, utilizing the Feynman polaron model, polaronic parameters are evaluated, and for the majority of systems, charge-separated polaronic states are less stable than bound excitons. Finally, an investigation of Polaronic mobility reveals high polaron mobility for electrons (3.33-85.11 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$) compared to previously reported Cs-based VODP materials. Overall, these findings highlight Rb-based VODPs as promising candidates for future optoelectronic applications. |
