Tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) are attracting intense research interest due to their excellent optoelectric properties and eco-friendly features. To further improve the device performance, developing new fullerene derivatives as electron transporter layers (ETLs) is highly demanded. Four well-defined regioisomers (trans-2, trans-3, trans-4, and e) of diethylmalonate-C bisadduct (DCBA) are isolated and well characterized. The well-defined molecular structure enables us to investigate the real structure-dependent effects on photovoltaic performance. It is found that the chemical structures of the regioisomers not only affect their energy levels, but also lead to significant differences in their molecular packings and interfacial contacts. As a result, the devices with trans-2, trans-3, trans-4, and e as ETLs yield efficiencies of 11.69%, 14.58%, 12.59%, and 10.55%, respectively, which are higher than that of the as-prepared DCBA-based (10.28%) device. Notably, the trans-3-based device also demonstrates a certified efficiency of 14.30%, representing one of the best-performing TPSCs.

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.

A pseudohalide (SCN) tin-based perovskite material using a solvent-free ball milling method is developed. The synthesized perovskite exhibits long-term water stability and demonstrated significant photocatalytic activity in reducing CO to CO under light irradiation. The structural transition from nanoparticles to planar perovskites is achieved by varying the ratios of dimethylammonium (DMA) and formamidinium (FA) cations, which is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses.

Article Synopsis
- - The development of Sn-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) shows promise for eco-friendly solar technology, but challenges remain due to expensive hole transport layers (HTL) and inefficient interface interactions.
- - Researchers introduced a halogen radical chemical bridging strategy that eliminates the need for HTLs and improves the interface between perovskites and substrates, leading to significant enhancements in performance.
- - This innovative approach increased the efficiency of HTL-free Sn-based PSCs from 6.79% to 14.20%, achieved record stability for 2000 hours, and can also be applied to Pb-based PSCs, resulting in efficiencies of up to 22.27%.
