There are conflicting understandings of the electronic and optical properties of CsPb2Br5. We investigated the electronic and optical properties of CsPb2Br5 with first-principles calculations. It is confirmed that CsPb2Br5 is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 3.08 eV at GGA/PBE level and 3.72 eV at the HSE06 hybrid functional level. The PBE results demonstrate that the inclusion of SOC slightly reduces the band gap. We calculate the optical absorbance/emission spectrum of CsPb2Br5. It is found the optical absorption edges locate at 360–380 nm, shorter than the wavelength of visible light. Our results support the experimental results of Li et al. [Chem. Commun. 52 (2016) 11296] and Zhang et al. [J. Mater. Chem. C 6 (2018) 446].
