Double perovskite materials have gradually become widely studied due to their potential applications in solar cells and other optoelectronic devices. We take Cs₂NaFeCl₆ as an example to investigate the carrier mobility with respect to the acoustic phonon and the optical phonon scattering mechanisms. By considering the deformation potential, carrier effective mass, and bulk modulus, the longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonon-determined mobilities for electrons and holes in Cs₂NaFeCl₆ are found to be <i>μ_e</i> = 2886.08 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹ and <i>μ_h</i> = 39.09 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively. The optical scattering mechanism involves calculating the Fröhlich coupling constant, dielectric constant, and polaron mass to determine the multiple polar optical (PO) phonon-scattering-determined mobilities, resulting in <i>μ_e</i> = 279.25 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹ and <i>μ_h</i> = 21.29 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively. By combining both interactions, the total electron mobility and hole mobility are determined to be 254.61 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹ and 13.78 cm² v⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively. The findings suggest that the polarization of both electrons and ions, small coupling constant, and bulk modulus in Cs₂NaFeCl₆’s lattice make PO scattering a significant contribution to carrier mobility in this specific double perovskite, highlighting the importance of considering this in enhancing the optoelectronic properties of Cs₂NaFeCl₆ and other double perovskites.
