Abstract Due to its outstanding optoelectronic properties, halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) power conversion efficiency has rapidly grown 25.7%. Nonetheless, lead poisoning is a significant hurdle the deployment of (PSCs). Tin most alternative with potential due similar electric and electronic properties less hazardous nature. Yet, performance Sn‐based PSCs lags significantly below that Pb‐based Sn (II)'s easy oxidation (IV). Incorporating large‐sized organic cations form quasi‐two‐dimensional (2D) structured‐tin perovskites increases stability PSC. In addition, hydrophobic group quasi‐2D structure inhibits moisture oxygen from penetrating absorber layers.
