Article Synopsis
- Tandem solar cells enhance efficiency beyond single-junction cells by using low bandgap materials, achieved by substituting lead with tin in perovskite structures.
- The study introduces a scalable method for creating formamidinium lead tin iodide films through sequential thermal evaporation, resulting in highly oriented and crystalline layers.
- Key findings reveal that sTE films exhibit better photoconductance compared to traditional spin-coated samples, with impressive carrier lifetimes and mobilities, highlighting the technique's efficacy for high-quality low bandgap perovskite materials.
Mixed Sn-Pb halide perovskites are promising absorber materials for solar cells due to the possibility of tuning the bandgap energy down to 1.2-1.3 eV.

However, while core-only QDs of CdSe and CdTe have been prepared with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), this is not yet achieved for InP QDs. Treatments with HF have been used to boost the PLQY of InP core-only QDs up to 85%.
