Two simple methods to improve tin halide perovskite film structure are introduced, aimed at increasing the power conversion efficiency of lead free perovskite solar cells. First, a hot antisolvent treatment (HAT) was found to increase the film coverage and prevent electrical shunting in the photovoltaic device. Second, it was discovered that annealing under a low partial pressure of dimethyl sulfoxide vapor increased the average crystallite size. The topographical and electrical qualities of the perovskite films are substantively improved as a result of the combined treatments, facilitating the fabrication of tin‐based perovskite solar cell devices with power conversion efficiencies of over 7 %.
