description We utilized a first-principle density functional theory for a comprehensive analysis of CsPbX<sub>3</sub> (X = F, Cl, Br, I) to explore its physical and chemical properties, including its mechanical behavior, electronic structure and optical properties. Calculations show that all four materials have good stability, modulus of elasticity, hardness and wear resistance. Additionally, CsPbX<sub>3</sub> demonstrates a vertical electron leap and serves as a semiconductor material with direct band gaps of 3.600 eV, 3.111 eV, 2.538 eV and 2.085 eV. In examining its optical properties, we observed that the real and imaginary components of the dielectric function exhibit peaks within the low-energy range. Furthermore, the dielectric function gradually decreases as the photon energy increases. The absorption spectrum reveals that the CsPbX<sub>3</sub> material exhibits the highest UV light absorption, and as X changes (with the increase in atomic radius within the halogen group of elements), the light absorption undergoes a red shift, becoming stronger and enhancing light utilization. These properties underscore the material’s potential for application in microelectronic and optoelectronic device production. Moreover, they provide a theoretical reference for future investigations into CsPbX<sub>3</sub> materials.
