Fabrication of Efficient Formamidinium Tin Iodide Perovskite Solar Cells through SnF2–Pyrazine Complex

Abstract

To fabricate efficient formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) perovskite solar cells (PSCs), it is essential to deposit uniform and dense perovskite layers and reduce Sn4+ con-tent. Here we used solvent-engineering and non-solvent dripping process with SnF2 as an inhibitor of Sn4+. However, excess SnF2 induce phase separation on the surface of the perovskite film. In this work, we report the homogeneous dispersion of SnF2 via the formation of the SnF2-pyrazine complex. Consequently, we fabricated FASnI3 PSCs with high reproducibility, achieving a high power conversion efficiency of 4.8 %. Furthermore, the encapsulated device showed a stable performance for over 100 days, maintaining 98 % of its initial efficiency.
