We have developed tin perovskites suitable for tin-based perovskite solar cells through the design of a triple mesoscopic scaffold structure. These perovskites exhibit excellent performance and stability, and can efficiently convert light into electricity over a wide wavelength range.
Besides negligible toxicity, tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) hold bright prospects in light of broad light harvesting beyond-850 nm rendering theoretical efficiencies higher than lead-based counterparts. However, tin perovskites which are as thin as-200 nm (cf.,-500 nm or beyond for lead analogs) and populate tin defects (i. e., Sn4+ defects) especially on a top surface do not suffice to absorb all the incoming light and to convert it into electricity. Herein, we explore triple mesoscopic TPSCs and develop suitable tin perovskites via cation and solvent engineering. The predetermined body frame of TiO2 (ETM) / Al2O3 (insulator) / ITO (HTM and elec-trode) mesoporous scaffolds enables thickness control of tin perovskites with ease over micrometers (-2 mu m herein), where ETM stands for the electron transport material and HTM stands for the hole transport material. In mesoscopic TPSCs, ITO is partly buried in tin perovskites so that the Sn4+ defects-enriched surface is least influential to charge transfer. By leveraging a Cs cation and a N,N '-dimethylpropyleneurea solvent, demanding quality of tin perovskites for efficient conversion of light-to-electricity is satisfied such as relaxed and passivated crystals and Sn4+-lean defects. The resulting perovskites are well-suited in performance and stability to the mesoscopic TPSCs. Importantly, they are highly reproducible and attain high quantum efficiency of >90% over a broad range of light absorption from 400 to 700 nm. This remarkable quantum efficiency translates to photo -current higher than >27 mA cm-2 (cf., theoretical limit:-31 mA cm-2). We herein enlighten the future of TPSCs by proposing a route for maximal light harvesting and its conversion.
