The development of high performance lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is important to address the environmental concern of heavy metal lead. In recent years, tin perovskite solar cell (TPSCs) is developing quickly and emerging as a promising candidate for high efficiency lead-free PSCs. Meanwhile, the narrow bandgap of tin perovskite solar cells enables it to be used for the fabrication of tandem solar cells. In this presentation, I will summarize recent work of our group about quasi-2D tin halide perovskite materials and devices. I will introduce the basic properties of low dimensional tin perovskite, crystal growth kinetic control to manipulate its nanostructure and orientation, as well as device structural engineering to reduce interface carriers recombination. Based on these efforts, the highest efficiency of tin perovskite solar cells is up to 14.6% that is certified in an independent agency. In addition, the quasi-2D structure is also applied for the fabrication of inorganic tin perovskite solar cells. Meanwhile, quasi-2D structure is applied for surface treatment of tin-lead mixed perovskite solar cells to reduce surface defects and ensure effective interface carrier transport. This interface design brings effectively enhanced device performance for both perovskite single junction and tandem solar cells.
