Tin (Sn)-based perovskites show great potential for environmentally friendly and high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the development of Sn-based perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) lags significantly behind that of lead-based perovskites. This is mainly due to the faster crystallization rate of Sn-based perovskites that leads to a higher defect density in Sn-based perovskite films, thereby serious nonradiative recombination. Here, we demonstrated a buried interface modification (BIM) strategy to regulate the crystallization kinetics of Sn-based perovskite films by using carboxylate as multifunctional surface modifiers. We reveal that the buried interface is critical to improve the nucleation and crystallization of Sn-based perovskite films. As a result, efficient near-infrared Sn-based PeLEDs were achieved with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.9%. This work suggests an efficient and elegant route to obtain high-performance Sn-based perovskite films and devices.

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have attracted considerable attention owing to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE), which exceeds the limits of single-junction devices. This study focused on lead-free tin-based perovskites with iodine-bromine mixed anions. Bromide perovskites have a wide bandgap; therefore, they are promising light absorbers for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

The two-step sequential deposition technique reported in the inverted p-i-n configuration to fabricate Sn perovskite solar cells fails in the TiO-based n-i-p configuration since the latter aggravates Sn oxidation from the SnI nucleation layer upon pore infiltration. However, ambipolar SnO only promotes hole transport in Sn perovskite. Here, we report Cl-doped SnO (Cl:SnO) with surface functionalities using multifunctional polybenzoxazine (p-Benz) to circumvent the SnO/SnI interfacial redox reaction that would otherwise amplify hole extraction.

In the pursuit of environmentally sustainable and lead-free materials for the development of high-performance perovskite solar cells, this investigation assesses the theoretical feasibility of , a tin-based inorganic perovskite, as a potential cornerstone for commercially successful perovskite solar cell technology. An investigation into charge transport materials and their thicknesses, absorber properties and defect densities, metal contacts, operating temperature, and both series and shunt resistances led to the realization of novel, to our knowledge, //// configuration through the solar cell capacitance simulator in one-dimension (SCAPS-1D).

Mitigating the oxidation susceptibility of Sn remains a critical issue for improving the environmental stability of lead-free perovskites. Herein, we show that the oxidized surface layer of Sn-based perovskites can be utilized to improve transistor performance, rather than being entirely suppressed. We report perovskite-IGZO junction field-effect transistors that use this oxidized layer to suppress gate current to below 10 A, enabling enhancement-mode operation.

Zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides, which feature discrete metal halide octahedra interspersed with large organoammonium cations, are the building blocks of halide perovskites. The optical properties of these materials make them promising candidates in light-emitting devices. However, developing their general design principles remains challenging.
