Abstract

There is a need to search for high-efficiency Pb-free metal halide perovskites. Here we report a novel organic cation (Acetamidinium) for substituted formamidimium tin iodide perovskite. Using the acetamidinium-substituted formamidinium tin perovkite as the absorber, we demonstrate solar cells in the p-i-n configuration. The best device exhibited a power conversion efficiency ≈ 1%; with a short-circuit current density (J-{sc}) of 8.53 mA/cm2, open circuit-voltage (V-{oc}) of 0.3V, and fill-factor (FF) of 39%. Poor V-{oc} of the device is due to conduction band offset of absorber layer with PCBM and interfacial recombination.
