SnPb solder was widely used in electronic packaging for aerospace devices due to its high reliability. However, its creep resistance is poor and can be improved by adding alloying elements. The effects of Sb content on the microstructure, tensile, and creep properties of eutectic SnPb solder were investigated. Sb addition effectively improved the mechanical properties of the SnPb solder. When Sb content exceeds 1.7 wt.%, SbSn intermetallic compounds (IMCs) occurred. And increasing the Sb content increased the tensile strength. Furthermore, Sb addition decreased the steady-state creep rate and increased the stress exponent , suggesting that the creep resistance had been enhanced, which may be attributed to the hindrance of dislocation movement by SbSn IMCs, as well as the reduction in phase boundaries, which consequently reduced grain boundary sliding.

Developing tin-lead (Sn-Pb) narrow-bandgap perovskites is crucial for the deployment of all-perovskite tandem solar cells, which can help to exceed the limits of single-junction photovoltaics. However, the Sn-Pb perovskite suffers from a large number of bulk traps and interfacial nonradiative recombination centers, with unsatisfactory open-circuit voltage and the consequent device efficiency. Herein, for the first time, it is shown that abietic acid (AA), a commonly used flux for metal soldering, effectively tackles complex defects chemistry in Sn-Pb perovskites.

Sn-Ni system alloys are promising alternatives to replace Sn-Pb alloys as they exhibit high corrosion resistance and good weldability. However, Sn-Ni alloys still have low mechanical strength and low reliability. Using the strategy of the addition of alloying elements can be a way to improve the properties of Sn-Ni alloys.

The preparation of perovskite components (PbI and SnI) using waste materials is of great significance for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, this goal is difficult to achieve due to the purity of the recovered products and the easy oxidation of Sn. Here, a simple one-step synthetic process to convert waste Sn-Pb solder into SnI/PbI and then applied as-prepared SnI/PbI to PSCs for high additional value is adopted.

Ag paste has been recognized as a promising substitute for Sn/Pb solder in SiC or GaN power electronic devices, owing to its ability to withstand high temperatures and facilitate low-temperature packing. The reliability of these high-power circuits is greatly influenced by the mechanical properties of sintered Ag paste. However, there exist substantial voids inside the sintered silver layer after sintering, and the conventional macroscopic constitutive models have certain limitation to describe the shear stress-strain relationship of sintered silver materials.
