A Review of Three-Dimensional Tin Halide Perovskites as Solar Cell Materials
Margaret Dawson, Cauê Ribeiro, M. R. Morelli
Abstract
Thin film solar cell materials such as 3D metal halide perovskites are cheaper alternatives to silicon. Presently, the conversion efficiency of 3D lead halide perovskites is 25.5% ( Despite this remarkable progress, concerns about the toxicity of lead have sparked the quest for possible substitutes, in particular, 3D tin halide perovskites. This review covers the general properties of tin halide perovskites, synthesis and stability. It also identifies possible gaps and application beyond solar cells.
