Tin perovskite has emerged as a leading lead-free perovskite solar cell material, yet its performance is hindered by high defect density due to facile oxidation. In this work, we develop a high-entropy tin perovskite by incorporating five distinct organic A-site cations. The increased entropy benefits the decrease of reaction enthalpy change (ΔH), effectively suppressing oxidation. Solar cells based on this wide-bandgap high-entropy tin perovskite achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.45%, which is 15% higher than a conventional low-entropy structure. Furthermore, the enhanced stability of the perovskite film enables atomic layer deposition of SnO x on the top as an electron transport layer under humid conditions. It allows the fabrication of efficient semi-transparent wide- bandgap tin perovskite solar cells showing a PCE of 8.2%. Leveraging this efficient half-transparent device, we demonstrate the first successful fabrication of a tin perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell showing a PCE of 16.2%.
