Tin-halide perovskites are gaining more and more interest every year due to their lower toxicity compared to their lead-based counterparts. Despite more suitable energy gaps for applications in solar cells, they usually achieve significantly lower efficiency and stability than their Pb-based siblings due to Sn(II) susceptibility to oxidation. One of many strategies used for the improvement of Sn-based devices’ performance is the passivation of the 3D perovskite’s surface with bulk organic cations, eventually resulting in the formation of the so-called quasi-2D structures. Though the pool of such structures is quite impressive, understanding the behaviour of corresponding 2D perovskites is of great importance for the perovskite community.
Herein, we present a comprehensive characterization of a previously unexplored tin-based 2D perovskite. We show the changes in the optical and structural properties of both bulk crystals and spin-coated thin films in a wide temperature range (20 K – 310 K). Moreover, we studied the influence of environmental parameters (exposition to air, humidity, vacuum) on optical properties. Our studies indicate interesting properties of the fabricated perovskites for potential applications in sustainable optoelectronics.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
