Abstract
Wide-bandgap (WBG) tin perovskite solar cells offer a promising solution for the development of multijunction and nontoxic photovoltaic devices. However, rapid crystallization of the perovskite film always results in numerous defects within it, creating nonradiative recombination sites that impair both the efficiency and the stability of the devices. In this work, a ferrocene-based additive, 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-palladium(II) dichloride dichloromethane complex (Pd(dppf)Cl2), was introduced to enable the fabrication of high-quality perovskite films and high-efficiency perovskite devices. The functional groups in Pd(dppf)Cl2 (e.g., benzene rings, Cl, etc.) interact with the perovskite to enhance the perovskite film quality. Additionally, the reducibility of ferrocene offers an effective approach to improve film properties, as ferrocene can efficiently reduce Sn4+ to Sn2+ in both the solution and the film. Finally, the single junction device with a Pd(dppf)Cl2 additive achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.52% and demonstrated improved stability. Furthermore, a fully lead-free tandem device based on WBG Sn PSCs was fabricated, achieving a remarkable PCE of 14.51%.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
