perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) have emerged as the most promising
lead-free perovskite materials owing to their superior optoelectronic
properties. However, the deficiency of accurate control of the tin-based
perovskite crystallization process increases the possibility of unexpected
perovskite film morphology and defects, resulting in inferior power
conversion efficiency (PCE). Meanwhile, the poor environmental stability
of tin-based perovskite films hinders its further development. In
this work, a unique polymer [poly(ethylene-co-vinyl
acetate) (EVA)] is introduced into anti-solvent during spin coating
of formamidinium tin tri-iodide (FASnI3) precursor solution.
The CO groups contained in EVA have a powerful Lewis acid–base
complexation with uncoordinated tin atoms in perovskite grains, which
can greatly improve the grain size, optimize the grain orientation,
and decrease the surface defects of FASnI3 films. This
strategy offers an impressive PCE of 7.72% with favorable reproducibility.
More importantly, the PVSC devices based on FASnI3–EVA
absorbers have a self-encapsulation effect, which exhibits distinguished
moisture and oxygen barrier property, thereby retaining 62.4% of the
original efficiency value after aging for 48 h in the air with a humidity
of 60%. Such a convenient strategy provides a new inspiration for
the establishment of stable and high-performance tin-based PVSCs.
