Tin perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) as the most promising candidate for lead-free PSCs have attracted much attention all over the world. However, tin perovskite films deposited by the solution-based strategy usually undergo a much faster crystallization rate than that of the lead analogs,[1] which leads to abundant pinholes and random crystal orientation that induce serious charge recombination and poor device performance.[2] Besides, tin perovskite materials show poor environmental stability, they easily undergo phase transition or oxidization process when exposed to the air. Additive engineering is a promising way to improve both the film quality and stability, but there is a lack of design principle for the additive molecules to further improve the efficiency and long-term stability of TPSCs.
In this manuscript, we introduced the additive molecules designed with a π-conjugated unit and Lewis base functional groups to govern the crystallization kinetics of FASnI3 perovskite.[3] It's found that the π-conjugated units with strong electron-donating ability significantly increase the electron density of Lewis base groups, resulting in more stable intermediate phase formed with the Lewis acid Sn2+ components, leading to a compact and uniform perovskite film with much longer carrier recombination lifetime. Moreover, the hydrophobic nature of π-conjugated system also retards the permeation of moisture into perovskite crystal and therefore prevents the degradation of FASnI3 film in air.
As a result, we achieved a stabilizing power conversion efficiency of 10.1% for the TPSCs, and a certified steady-state efficiency of 9.2% was also obtained from the accredited test center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST, Japan). In addition, the TPSCs treated with CDTA maintained over 90% of its initial PCE after 1000-hours light soaking in air.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
