Homogeneous SnF <sub>2</sub> ‐Induced Strain Modulation in Sn–Pb Perovskites for High‐Performance Monolithic All‐Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

Tin fluoride (SnF<sub>2</sub>) serves as an indispensable antioxidant in Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells, playing a critical role in the development of efficient all-perovskite tandem architectures. However, excessive SnF<sub>2</sub> often suffers from aggregation challenges, inevitably causing phase separation and tensile strain within the perovskite films, severely compromising device efficiency and stability. In this study, we report a precise regulation strategy by employing phenylethylammonium chloride (PEACl) to modulate the distribution of excess SnF<sub>2</sub>. The hydrogen bonding between PEACl and SnF<sub>2</sub>, coupled with steric hindrance effects, enables uniform dispersion of SnF<sub>2</sub> at grain boundaries, effectively suppressing SnF<sub>2</sub> phase segregation and promoting homogeneous crystallization of Sn-Pb perovskites. Moreover, it is revealed that the precise regulation of SnF<sub>2</sub> distribution through PEACl effectively releases local strain in perovskite thin films. Single-junction Sn-Pb devices treated with the SnF<sub>2</sub>+PEACl demonstrate an exceptional power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.52%, substantially outperforming control devices at 20.83%. The optimized two-terminal (2-T) monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells achieve a remarkable PCE of 28.89%. Notably, these tandem devices maintain over 80% of their initial efficiency after continuous operation at maximum power point under one-sun illumination for 670 h, exhibiting excellent long-term stability.

Abstract

Tin fluoride (SnF<sub>2</sub>) serves as an indispensable antioxidant in Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells, playing a critical role in the development of efficient all-perovskite tandem architectures. However, excessive SnF<sub>2</sub> often suffers from aggregation challenges, inevitably causing phase separation and tensile strain within the perovskite films, severely compromising device efficiency and stability. In this study, we report a precise regulation strategy by employing phenylethylammonium chloride (PEACl) to modulate the distribution of excess SnF<sub>2</sub>. The hydrogen bonding between PEACl and SnF<sub>2</sub>, coupled with steric hindrance effects, enables uniform dispersion of SnF<sub>2</sub> at grain boundaries, effectively suppressing SnF<sub>2</sub> phase segregation and promoting homogeneous crystallization of Sn-Pb perovskites. Moreover, it is revealed that the precise regulation of SnF<sub>2</sub> distribution through PEACl effectively releases local strain in perovskite thin films. Single-junction Sn-Pb devices treated with the SnF<sub>2</sub>+PEACl demonstrate an exceptional power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.52%, substantially outperforming control devices at 20.83%. The optimized two-terminal (2-T) monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells achieve a remarkable PCE of 28.89%. Notably, these tandem devices maintain over 80% of their initial efficiency after continuous operation at maximum power point under one-sun illumination for 670 h, exhibiting excellent long-term stability.
