Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) mixed perovskite with a narrow bandgap is an ideal candidate for single-junction solar cells approaching the Shockley-Queisser limit. However, due to the easy oxidation of Sn, the efficiency and stability of Sn-Pb mixed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) still lag far behind that of Pb-based solar cells. Herein, highly efficient and stable FAMAPbSnIBr compositional PSCs are achieved by introducing an appropriate amount of multifunctional Tin (II) oxalate (SnCO). SnCO with compensative Sn and reductive oxalate group CO effectively passivates the cation and anion defects simultaneously, thereby leading to more n-type perovskite films. Benefitting from the energy level alignment and the suppression of bulk nonradiative recombination, the Sn-Pb mixed perovskite solar cell treated with SnCO achieves a power conversion efficiency of 21.43%. More importantly, chemically reductive CO effectively suppresses the notorious oxidation of Sn, leading to significant enhancement in stability. Particularly, it dramatically improves light stability.

The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT/PSS) mixed polymer is characterized by high conductivity and a simple preparation process, making it an excellent hole transport material for inverted Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the acidic substances produced by PEDOT/PSS upon exposure to moisture and quick crystallization of Sn-Pb perovskite films on its surface may decrease device performances. Herein, an effective bidirectional regulation strategy was developed by introducing 4-bromobenzylamine hydrochloride (4-BBAC) molecules into the interface between PEDOT/PSS and the perovskite, inducing efficient and stable inverted Sn-Pb PSCs.

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) mixed narrow band gap (NBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hold promise for tandem photovoltaic applications due to their tunable bandgap (≈1.25 eV), but face challenges from rapid crystallization kinetics and operational instability. Conventional ammonium salt passivators improve efficiency but often compromise stability by introducing mobile ions.

Mixed tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskites hold significant promise for efficient single-junction and tandem solar cells due to their tunable narrow bandgaps, but their performance is often hindered by disparate crystallization kinetics between Sn and Pb precursors and Sn instability. Herein, we introduce sulfaguanidine (SG) as a multifunctional additive. SG utilizes its dual sulfonyl (S═O) groups to coordinate with Sn/Pb ions, crucially balancing their disparate crystallization rates.

Single-component halide perovskites (HPs) rarely satisfy all the necessary criteria for optoelectronic applications, such as achieving an optimal band gap while maintaining high chemical and structural stability. Alloying halide perovskites has emerged as a promising strategy, not only to enhance stability but also to fine-tune their electronic and optical properties. In this work, we explore multiple degrees of freedom in alloy design, considering different substitution sublattices sites (A, B, or X in ABX perovskites), various chemical species (isovalent and hetero-valent elements), and multi-component compositions on a given sublattice.
