Abstract
Tin halide perovskites are seen as the leading lead-free metal halide perovskite due to the high degree of similarity with the conventional lead-based materials. However, the chemistry of tin halide perovskites is distinct from that of lead halide perovskites, resulting in a material that is challenging to produce at a sufficient quality that enables high performing photovoltaic cells. This review seeks to summarise and discuss the existing literature on tin halide perovskites and photovoltaic devices that utilise them. The first section of this review will summarise the progress that has been made in the field of tin halide perovskite photovoltaics, and then in detail discuss various aspects of tin halide perovskites, including their basic semiconducting properties, defect physics, crystallinity, and degradation mechanisms, along with the strategies that have been employed to control these aspects and potential theoretical options that yet to have been explored. Future research directions for tin halide perovskite will include finding new additives for regulating; 1) the growth rate, 2) the defect densities, and 3) the stability of tin halide perovskites.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications.
The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms.
Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC).
Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
