The toxicity of lead (Pb) presents a critical challenge for the application of perovskite optoelectronics. In tin (Sn) perovskite, Sn is easily oxidized to Sn during the crystallization process. The uncontrollable oxidation process affects the crystallinity of perovskite films and leads to nonradiative traps within the films, resulting in poor device performance. Herein, we improve the efficiency of formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI)-based perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) through the inclusion of phenyl-thioure (PTC), which enhances crystallinity and suppresses oxidation of the Sn perovskite emitters. We achieve a high-performance near-infrared FASnI-based PeLED with a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.4% and a maximum radiance of 117 W sr m. The devices exhibit operational lifetimes () of ∼12.4 h under a constant current density of 10 mA cm, representing some of the most stable FASnI-based PeLEDs. Our work explores a pathway for regulating crystallinity, inhibiting oxidation, and passivating defects in lead-free Sn-based PeLEDs.

Metal halide perovskites have garnered widespread attention for research and applications, thanks to their high adaptability in elemental composition and optoelectronic properties. The mixed Sn-Pb perovskite FASnPbI (FA is formamidinium) features a narrow bandgap of 1.25 eV, appropriate for building tandem solar cells, but faces challenges in fabricating uniform, compact films having protected surfaces and scalable dimensions.

Tin (Sn) perovskites have emerged as promising alternatives to address the toxicity concerns associated with lead-based (Pb) perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, the inherent oxidation of Sn perovskite films leads to a serious efficiency roll-off in PeLEDs at increased current densities. Although three-dimensional (3D) CsSnBrperovskites exhibit decent carrier mobilities and thermal stability, their rapid crystallization during solution processing results in inadequate surface coverage.

Metal halide perovskites are attractive for optoelectronic applications, but the existing solution-based synthetic methods rely on hazardous solvents and lack reproducibility. To overcome these challenges, solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of perovskites can be conducted, although traditional opaque ball milling equipment hinder real-time monitoring of the reaction progress. Herein, mechanochemistry was performed with time-lapsed in situ (TLIS) measurements to elucidate the optical properties during the synthesis.

Tin-lead perovskites provide an ideal bandgap for narrow-bandgap perovskites in all-perovskite tandem solar cells, fundamentally improving power conversion efficiency. However, light-induced degradation in ambient air is a major issue that can hinder the long-term operational stability of these devices. Understanding the specifics of what occurs during this pathway provides the direction for improving device stability.
