The existence of a mass oxidation of Sn 2+ that takes place mainly during preparation of precursor solutions and fabrication of films creates a lead-free solar cell of low open-circuit voltage, which leads to low PCE. To reduce the oxidation process, we employed an innovative crystal fabrication method with anti-solventfree recrystallization technology. As a result, to the best of our knowledge, both spin-coated and printed lead-free solar cells based on FASnI 3 achieved the highest 3D-based PCE to date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
