Abstract
The low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of tin‐based perovskite solar cells is mainly caused by severe Sn 2+ oxidation and trap state formation. Herein, the reduction of Sn 4+ content and trap density is realized through the formation of quasi‐2D tin‐based perovskite by incorporating allylammonium (ALA) cations into formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI 3 ). The composition modification substantially enhances the crystallinity and morphology of the perovskite films, leading to a preferred crystal orientation that facilitates charge carrier transport. After optimization, a high maximum PCE of 9.48% is achieved in a planar p‐i‐n photovoltaic device based on (ALA) 2 (FA) n −1 Sn n X 3 n +1 (< n > = 25). In the meantime, the device also shows improved stability compared with the FASnI 3 ‐based one.
