    Tin halide perovskites attract incremental attention to deliver lead‐free perovskite solar cells. Nevertheless, disordered crystal growth and low defect formation energy, related to Sn(II) oxidation to Sn(IV), limit the efficiency and stability of solar cells. Engineering the processing from perovskite precursor solution preparation to film crystallization is crucial to tackle these issues and enable the full photovoltaic potential of tin halide perovskites. Herein, the ionic liquid n‐butylammonium acetate (BAAc) is used to tune the tin coordination with specific O…Sn chelating bonds and NH…X hydrogen bonds. The coordination between BAAc and tin enables modulation of the crystallization of the perovskite in a thin film. The resulting BAAc‐containing perovskite films are more compact and have a preferential crystal orientation. Moreover, a lower amount of Sn(IV) and related chemical defects are found for the BAAc‐containing perovskites. Tin halide perovskite solar cells processed with BAAc show a power conversion efficiency of over 10%. This value is retained after storing the devices for over 1000 h in nitrogen. This work paves the way toward a more controlled tin‐based perovskite crystallization for stable and efficient lead‐free perovskite photovoltaics.

    Characterizing the influence of charge extraction layers on the performance of triple‐cation perovskite solar cells
    (2023) Siekmann, Johanna; Kulkarni, Ashish; Akel, Samah; Klingebiel, Benjamin; Saliba, Michael; Rau, Uwe; Kirchartz, Thomas
    Selecting suitable charge transport layers and suppressing non-radiative recombination at interfaces with the absorber layer is vital for maximizing the efficiency of halide perovskite solar cells. In this study, high-quality perovskite thin films and devices are fabricated with different fullerene-based electron transport layers and different self-assembled monolayers as hole transport layers. Then, a comparative study of a significant variety of different electrical, optical, and photoemission-based characterization techniques is performed to quantify the properties of the solar cells, individual layers, and, importantly, the interfaces between them. In addition, the limitations and problems of the different measurements, the insights gained by combining different methods, and the different strategies for extracting information from the experimental raw data, are highlighted.
