Abstract
Sn-based perovskites are the most promising alternative materials for Pb-based perovskites to address the toxicity problem of lead. However, the development of SnII -based perovskites has been hindered by their extreme instability. Here, we synthesized efficient and stable lead-free Cs4 SnBr6 perovskite by using SnF2 as tin source instead of easily oxidized SnBr2 . The SnF2 configures a fluorine-rich environment, which can not only suppress the oxidation of Sn2+ in the synthesis, but also construct chemically stable Sn-F coordination to hinder the electron transfer from Sn2+ to oxygen within the long-term operation process. The SnF2 -derived Cs4 SnBr6 perovskite shows a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 62.8 %, and excellent stability against oxygen, moisture, and light radiation for 1200 h, representing one of the most stable lead-free perovskites. The results pave a new pathway to enhance the optical properties and stability of lead-free perovskite for high-performance light emitters.
