The present study examines the key characteristics of new vacancy-ordered halide double perovskites, RbKGeCl6 and RbKGeBr6, encompassing the elastic, structural, mechanical, optoelectronic, and thermoelectric properties. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) was employed to perform the calculation of the properties, facilitating the evaluation of their potential applications in optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices. The DFT calculation was conducted using the Quantum Espresso package alongside the thermo_pw tool and the BoltzTraP codes. The results revealed that the two proposed compounds possess both chemical and mechanical stability with optimized lattice constants recorded at 10.14 Ȧ and 10.72 Ȧ for RbKGeCl6 and RbKGeBr6, respectively. The evaluation of the elastic properties of the materials suggested reasonably high mechanical moduli of the materials. Based on the calculated electronic properties, the materials are classified as direct gap semiconductors, with energy gap values of 2.11 eV for RbKGeCl6 and 0.80 eV for RbKGeBr6 using the GGA-PBE functional. Furthermore, the use of the SCAN approximation yields more reliable energy gap of 2.51 eV and 1.08 eV for the respective compounds. The materials exhibited a high absorption coefficient and a significantly low reflectivity within the visible-ultraviolet energy spectrum. These findings strongly suggest the promising properties of the materials under study for optoelectronic applications. Furthermore, the calculated thermoelectric properties of the materials, particularly the figure of merit, revealed the materials’ potential use as thermoelectric materials. The calculated figure of merit values of RbKGeCl6 and RbKGeBr6 were found to range from 0.73 to 0.75, respectively, between 300 K and 800 K. Despite being lower, these values are comparable to those of some well-established materials including SiGe alloys (0.95), Bi2Te3 (≈0.90), and PbTe (≈0.80).
