Abstract

Silver chalcohalide antiperovskites represent a rather unexplored alternative to lead halide perovskites and other semiconductors based on toxic heavy metals. All synthetic approaches reported so far for Ag 3 SI and Ag 3 SBr require long synthesis times (typically days, weeks, or even months) and high temperatures. Herein, we report the synthesis of these materials using a fast and low-temperature method involving mechanochemistry. Structural and optical properties are examined experimentally and supported by first-principles calculations. Furthermore, we deposit Ag 3 SI as thin films by pulsed laser deposition and characterize its optoelectronic properties using optical-pump-terahertz-probe measurements, revealing a high charge-carrier mobility of 49 cm 2 V –1 s –1 . This work paves the way to the implementation of chalcohalide antiperovskites in various optoelectronic applications.
