Abstract

Finding lead‐free alternatives remains an important and challenging topic in the field of perovskite solar cells. In this perspective, the potential of Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 double perovskites in solar cells is discussed based on reported absorption and emission data. Whereas the material is capable of exceeding and potentially doubling current efficiency values of around 3%, mainly by an optimized solar cell design, industrially relevant devices cannot be fabricated without major changes in the absorption onset. Nevertheless, Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 poses various scientific questions and exact recombination and charge transport processes are yet to be unraveled, preparing us for the double perovskite or perovskite‐like materials to come.
