Abstract

Lead-free perovskites, especially Tin (Sn) based, have gained significant attention as promising candidates for solar cell applications due to their lower toxicity and potential for eco-friendly energy solutions. However, challenges such as precursor toxicity, complex film deposition methods, and instability in ambient conditions remain key obstacles to their broader adoption. This review provides an overview of the working principles of perovskite solar cells, emphasizing how stoichiometry affects the band gap in Sn-based perovskites. We aim to guide researchers in selecting optimal stoichiometric compositions for developing efficient and stable solar cells.
