Herein, we report a sequential deposition procedure to passivate the surface of a hybrid mixed cationic tin perovskite (E1G20) with phenylhydrazinium thiocyanate (PHSCN) dissolved in trifluoroethanol ...solvent. The photoluminescence lifetime of the PHSCN film was enhanced by a factor of 6, while the charge-extraction rate from perovskite to C60 layer was enhanced by a factor of 2.5, in comparison to those of the E1G20 film. A slow surface passivation was observed; the performance of the PHSCN device improved upon increasing the storage period to attain an efficiency of 13.5% for a current–voltage scan in the forward bias direction. An inverted effect of hysteresis was observed in that the efficiency of the forward scan was greater than that of the reverse scan. An ion-migration model as a result of the effect of the phenylhydrazinium surface passivation is proposed to account for the observed phenomena. The device was stable upon shelf storage in a glovebox for 3000 h.

Overcoming the issue of the stability of tin‐based perovskites is a major challenge for the commercial development of lead‐free perovskite solar cells. To attack this problem, a new organic cation, ...azetidinium (AZ), is incorporated into the crystal structure of formamidinium tin triiodide (FASnI3) to form the mixed‐cation perovskite AZxFA1‐xSnI3. As AZ has a similar size to FA but a larger dipole moment, hybrid AZxFA1‐xSnI3 films exhibit variation in optical and electronic properties on increasing the proportion of AZ. Trifluoromethylbenzene (CF3C6H5) serves as antisolvent to fabricate smooth and uniform perovskite films for the devices with an inverted planar heterojunction structure. The device performance is optimized to produce the greatest efficiency at x=0.15 (AZ15), for which a power conversion efficiency of 9.6 % is obtained when the unencapsulated AZ15 device is stored in air for 100 h. Moreover, the device retains 90 % of its initial efficiency for over 15 days. The significant performance and stability of this device reveal that the concept of mixed cations is a promising approach to stabilize tin‐based perovskite solar cells for future commercialization.
Can we mix it? Yes we can! Mixing 15 % of azetidinium (AZ) inside a FASnI3 perovskite crystal enhances the device performance to attain a power conversion efficiency of 9.6 % with excellent stability for the unencapsulated device, which retains 90 % of its initial performance for over 15 days.
