Although rapid progress has been made in tin-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the inferior film qualities of the solution-processed perovskites always lead to poor reproducibility and instability. Herein, we present a simple seeded growth (SG) approach to obtain high-quality tin-based perovskite films with preferred crystal orientation, large grain sizes, and fewer apparent grain boundaries. High-quality tin-based perovskite films fabricated through this SG process could greatly reduce the nonradiative recombination centers and inhibit the oxidation of Sn. Using formamidinium tin tri-iodide (FASnI) perovskites, the SG-PSCs exhibit a much improved efficiency from 5.37% (control) to 7.32% with all improved photovoltaic parameters. Moreover, this SG strategy is easily applicable to other tin-based perovskite compositions. The PSC based on methylammonium (MA) doped mixed-cation perovskite (FAMASnI) exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.54% with an improvement of 19.3% in the photovoltaic performance, making it a general approach for achieving efficient tin-based PSCs.

Tin-based perovskite has emerged as an excellent luminescent material due to its non-toxicity and narrow bandgap compared to lead-based perovskite. However, its tin ions are easily oxidized by oxygen, which leads to increased vacancy defects and poor crystallinity, presenting a significant challenge in obtaining high-quality perovskite films. In this context, we introduced an approach by synergistically adding SnF and tin powder into the precursor solution to enhance the antioxidation of Sn ions.

Tin-based halide perovskites represent a highly promising and eco-friendly alternative to lead-based materials with significant potential for optoelectronic applications. However, their advancement is hampered by challenges such as poor film crystallinity and unintended self-doping. Herein, this work reports the fabrication of high-quality CsSnBr perovskite films by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD), which improves the film quality.

The advancement of tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) has been severely hindered by the poor controllability of perovskite crystal growth and the energy level mismatch between the perovskite and fullerene-based electron transport layer (ETL). Here, we synthesized three cis-configured pyridyl-substituted fulleropyrrolidines (PPF), specifically 2-pyridyl (PPF2), 3-pyridyl (PPF3), and 4-pyridyl (PPF4), and utilized them as precursor additives to regulate the crystallization kinetics during film formation. The spatial distance between the two pyridine groups in PPF2, PPF3, and PPF4 increases sequentially, enabling PPF4 to interact with more perovskite colloidal particles.

Tin-based perovskites are more environmentally friendly than their lead-based alternatives. Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) using iodide-based tin perovskites have achieved considerable advancements in efficiency. However, PeLEDs using bromide-based tin perovskites have not progressed as rapidly, primarily due to challenges in controlling their crystallization processes.

The two-step deposition method effectively mitigates the efficiency decline observed in tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPVSCs) with increasing cell area, stemming from film in-homogeneity. However, the high solubility of SnI in the conventionally used solvent isopropyl alcohol, coupled with the absence of effective modulation of reaction-diffusion process, results in inadequate film coverage and conversion. In this study, we introduce formic acid as the second-step solvent and introduce dithiothreitol (DTT) to regulate reaction-diffusion/crystallization kinetics meticulously.
