Metal-halide perovskites have emerged as leading candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technologies owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties, low-cost processing, and compositional tunability. [1] Among them, tin-based perovskites are attracting increasing attention as environmentally friendly alternatives to lead-containing materials. However, their practical implementation remains hindered by critical instability mechanisms, including the oxidation of Sn²⁺ under ambient conditions and photoinduced compositional changes in mixed-halide systems. Addressing these degradation pathways is essential for the development of stable perovskite devices for real-world applications.
Here, we investigate the impact of compositional engineering on the structural, optical, and operational stability of mixed-halide tin perovskites. The stability of the mixed-halide compositions was evaluated under continuous illumination through in situ photoluminescence measurements. The investigated materials exhibit remarkable resistance to light-induced halide segregation, maintaining stable emission characteristics under illumination intensities comparable to standard operating conditions and showing only minor spectral variations at significantly higher excitation densities. These results indicate a strong suppression of photoinduced phase separation, a major limitation in many mixed-halide perovskite systems.
Ongoing studies further explore how interfacial engineering, particularly through tailored charge-transport layers, can influence halide redistribution dynamics and provide additional routes toward stabilizing mixed-halide perovskites. Together, these findings highlight synergistic compositional and interfacial approaches for enabling durable lead-free perovskite photovoltaics.
