Metal halide perovskites have attracted the attention of many scientists for their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, considering the environmental issues, the use of Pb in metal halide perovskites is not a good choice to be widely used in our daily life. Therefore, in recent years, Sn-based perovskites and other kinds of Pb-free perovskites have aroused great interest among scientists. It is hoped that the harm to the environment can be reduced. Among them, 2D Sn-based perovskites have been studied in the application of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, the easy oxidation of Sn from Sn2+ to Sn4+ tends to form detrimental Sn vacancies, which limits the efficiency of 2D Sn-based PeLEDs. In this study, we consider not only the solution to the problems associated with Sn-based perovskites, but also environmental concerns. Considering a more environmentally friendly process, we first investigated a series of natural antioxidants and then selected ascorbic acid (Vit C) as an additive to effectively inhibit the oxidation of Sn. In addition, we added the cyclic molecule 18-Crown-6 to trap excess ions and form a synergistic effect with VitC to significantly inhibit the defective state in PEA2SnI4 films. Finally, we demonstrate efficient 2D Sn-based PeLEDs with an emission wavelength centered at 630 nm and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.87%. This work provides a way to improve the performance of 2D Sn-based PeLEDs by adding natural antioxidants, thus further promoting the development of environmentally friendly PeLEDs.
