Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) materials are progressing as potential candidates for the future generation of photovoltaics. Despite the most efficient photovoltaic performance, lead-based perovskite materials are not considered for commercialization due to the high toxicity of lead. One of the promising alternatives is tin (Sn)-based perovskites, which exhibits equivalent ionic size as lead and outstanding absorption properties. However, Sn-based perovskite materials have stability and low-performance issues because of the easy oxidation of Sn2+ to Sn4+and fast crystallization. This paper gives a focused overview of the notable recent studies to address the stability and low-performance challenges of Sn-based hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (Sn-HOIP) materials for solar cells by using functional additives. To date, the addition of SnF2 additive in the methylammonium tin iodide-based PSCs has shown the highest efficiency of 7.78% and maintains 70% of original efficiency over 200-hours. In the case of formamidinium tin iodide-based PSCs, the addition of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride significantly increases the power conversion efficiency to 11.40% from 5.60% for a pristine device. However, further improvement in the stability and efficiency of Sn-based PSCs requires a molecular-level understanding of the role of existing and new candidates of additives tailored for evolving Sn-HOIP materials.

In this review, we first highlighted recent progress in high-performance perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) with a discussion of the fabrication methods and PVSCs-based tandem solar cells. Furthermore, the stability issue of PVSCs and strategies to improve material and device stability have been discussed, and finally, a summary of the recent progress in lead-free perovskites has been presented.

Abstract Although the all-inorganic perovskite CsPbI3 exhibits superior thermal- and photo-stability compared with organic-inorganic perovskites, formation of the photoactive α-phase requires sintering at approximately 320 oC. Herein, we report the partial substitution of Ge2+ ions for Pb2+ as a means of tuning the stability of the material and enabling α-phase formation at 90 oC.

AbstractThe toxicity issue of lead hinders large-scale commercial production and photovoltaic field application of lead halide perovskites. Some novel non- or low-toxic perovskite materials have been explored for development of environmentally friendly lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This review studies the substitution of equivalent/heterovalent metals for Pb based on first-principles calculation, summarizes the theoretical basis of lead-free perovskites, and screens out some promising lead-free candidates with suitable bandgap, optical, and electrical properties. Then, it reports notable achievements for the experimental studies of lead-free perovskites to date, including the crystal structure and material bandgap for all of lead-free materials and photovoltaic performance and stability for corresponding devices. The review finally discusses challenges facing the successful development and commercialization of lead-free PSCs and predicts the prospect of lead-free PSCs in the future.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has attracted growing attention in recent years due to its outstanding photovoltaic performance. After extensive studies in material designs and device engineering, the efficiencies of PSCs have been improved to 24.2%. On the other hand, the inadequate stability of PSCs is hindering the application to real life. Starting with the stability of organic-inorganic PSCs, this article analyzed and concluded the impact of doping A-site and X-site ions on the stability of perovskite respectively. Next, it put forward the prospects for possible development directions of this field in the future.
