Abstract

The last five years have seen very active research in the field of environmentally friendly lead-free perovskite solar cells. Tin halide perovskites are certainly one of the most promising alternatives to lead-based perovskites, while the performance of present tin-based perovskite solar cells is still relatively low. Nevertheless, recent experiments on thin films with improved quality have indicated that tin halide perovskites can, in principle, provide a high device performance. In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in the understanding of the fundamental photophysics of tin halide perovskite thin films. To identify the reason for the low performance of present devices, we discuss the energy loss mechanisms in solar cell structures from the viewpoint of photocarrier dynamics.
