Simulation of UV-Vis Spectrum:
The bulk crystal structure was first optimized with density functional theory
(DFT) using the Quantum Espresso 5.0 package.

Only the atoms in the triclinic unit
cell were relaxed while the lattice vectors were fixed. We employed the
Perdew-Zunger exchange-correlation functional, norm-conserving pseudopotentials
for all atoms, and a plane-wave basis set with a kinetic energy cutoff of 80 Rydberg.
The pseudopotentials were obtained online from the pseudopotential library at the
Quantum Espresso’s website. In this work, the pseudopotentials of C.pz-vbc.UPF,
H.pz-vbc.UPF, S.pz-bhs.UPF, and Si.pz-vbc.UPF were used for C, H, S, and Si,
respectively. The electronic self-consistency was converged to 10
-6
eV, while the
atoms were relaxed with a total energy tolerance of 10
-4
Rydberg, together with a
