Defect is unavoidable in solution-processed Tin-based perovskite compounds. Defect plays an important role in the photovoltaic parameters and stability of Tin-based perovskites and their devices. Tin-based perovskite solar cells have exhibited great potential for their small bandgap, high carrier mobility, and non-toxic property.
Tin (Sn) -based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) normally show low open circuit voltage due to serious carrier recombination in the devices, which can be attributed to the oxidation and the resultant high p-type doping of the perovskite active layers.
The use of doped semiconductors in heterojunction solar cells has improved device performance significantly by shifting the energy levels of the electron and hole transport layers.

Li, M. et al. Tin halide perovskite films made of highly oriented 2D crystals enable more efficient and stable lead-free perovskite solar cells.
Consequently, tin oxidation and its corresponding defective behavior seriously affect the device photovoltaic performance including output photovoltage and power conversion efficiency. We summarize these methods to suppress tin oxidation, such as tin halide compensation, reducing agents, composition and morphology optimization, and encapsulation.
It is found that the doping density of the electron transport layer (TiO 2) and absorber layer (CsSnI 3) has a significant effect on the band alignment and thus on the device performance; however, an increase in the acceptor doping density of the hole transport layer (CuSCN) does not make any significant changes in the device performance.
