Lead-free Sn-based metal halide perovskites are low-cost, high-efficiency photoelectric materials with significant potential for micro/nanolasers, addressing the biological and environmental toxicity of lead. This study explores the lasing behavior of single-crystal CsSnBr microsquare plates (MSPs) synthesized via two-step high-temperature vapor-phase epitaxy with steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL and TRPL) spectroscopies. The lasing behavior, dominated by excitons from 193 to 313 K, shows a lasing threshold of 122.5 μJ/cm at room temperature, supported by an exciton binding energy of 63.67 meV and a near-unity power-law relationship ( ≈ 1) between PL intensity and pump fluence. The characteristic temperature of the lasing threshold indicates the notable thermal stability of CsSnBr MSPs. Moisture is identified as a significant factor causing lasing failure in Sn-based perovskite MSPs. High crystal quality is essential for achieving lasing in micro/nanostructures based on Sn-based perovskites. These findings highlight the potential of high-temperature vapor epitaxial growth for Sn-based perovskite micro/nanolasers, paving the way for environmentally and biologically friendly optoelectronic devices.

Rational design of high-performance catalysts for CO electroreduction is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality, yet effective modification strategies remain scarce. In this study, we present the microwave heating approach to incorporate La ions into Sn-based perovskite oxides, significantly enhancing their electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of CO to formate. Through comprehensive characterization techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical measurements (Tafel analysis and impedance spectroscopy), and density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that La substitution effectively modulates the Sn-O bond distance in BaSnO.

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.

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.

Toxicity remains one of the major challenges that prevent Pb-based halide perovskites from widespread utilization. Ideally, non-toxic alternatives can be identified while still maintaining the superior power conversion efficiency of the Pb-based perovskite solar cells. Using the currently most promising candidate, the Sn-based halide perovskites, as an example, we show that a trade-off exists between toxicity and efficiency in the Sn- versus Pb-based halide perovskites.
