Abstract

Abstract Organic‐free and lead‐free CsSnI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently gained growing attention as a promising template to mitigate the thermal instability and lead toxicity of hybrid lead‐based PSCs. However, the relatively low device efficiency due to the high content of Sn(II)‐related defects hinders its further development. Herein, highly performed CsSnI3−xBrx compositional perovskite‐based PSCs are achieved by using dimethyl ketoxime (C3H7NO, DMKO) as a multifunctional additive. As a commercially used deoxidant, DMKO can effectively neutralize the oxygen molecule and reduce Sn4+ back to Sn2+, enhancing the oxidation resistance of the film. Besides, the electron‐rich oxime group (NOH) in DMKO tends to interact with Sn2+ ions with extremely low adsorption energy less than −15 eV and inhibits defect formation, resulting in films with low defect density. The corresponding PSCs deliver a considerable open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.75 V with a record efficiency as high as 11.2%, which represents the highest reported efficiency for lead‐free all‐inorganic PSCs thus far. More importantly, the grain surface distributed DMKO provides an in situ encapsulation of the perovskite, which results in greatly enhanced ambient stability of the un‐encapsulated devices.
