Advances in Tin(II)-Based Perovskite Solar Cells : From Material Physics to Device Performance

• During the past decade, metal halide perovskites are widely studied in the field of optoelectronic materials due to their unique optical and electrical properties. Lead-based halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs), in particular, currently achieve a record efficiency of 25.5%, thus showing strong potential in industrial application. However, toxicity of lead-based perovskite materials possesses great concerns to natural environment and human body. Therefore, the quest for nontoxic and eco-friendly elements to replace lead in perovskites is of great interest. Among all the element choices, tin(II) (Sn2+) is the most promising candidate. As a rising star of lead-free PSCs, Sn-based PSCs have drawn much attention and made promising progress during the past few years. While the rapid oxidation and decomposition of Sn-based perovskites result in poor stability and low efficiency of PSCs. In this review, structural, optoelectronic properties and the critical issues of Sn-based perovskite materials are analyzed. Then, a detailed discussion on the recent methods in solving critical issues of Sn-based perovskite devices, from optimization on materials physics to device performance, is also presented. Finally, remaining challenges and future perspective are given to advance the progression of Sn-based PSCs.
