Research Highlights: Over-18%-Efficiency Quasi-2D Ruddlesden-Popper Pb-Sn Mixed Perovskite Solar Cells by Compositional Engineering

Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) Pb–Sn mixed perovskites show great potential in applications of single and tandem photovoltaic devices, but they suffer from low efficiencies due to the existence of horizontal 2D phases. Here, we obtain a record high efficiency of 18.06% based on 2D ⟨n⟩ = 5 Pb–Sn mixed perovskites (iso-BA2MA4(PbxSn1–x)5I16, x = 0.7), by optimizing the crystal orientation through a regulation of the Pb/Sn ratio.… Read More
