1,4‐butanediamine (BEA) is incorporated into FASnI 3 (FA=formamidinium) to develop a series of lead‐free low‐dimensional Dion–Jacobson‐phase perovskites, (BEA)FA n −1 Sn n I 3 n +1 . The broadness of the (BEA)FA 2 Sn 3 I 10 band gap appears to be influenced by the structural distortion owing to high symmetry. The introduction of BEA ligand stabilizes the low‐dimensional perovskite structure (formation energy ca. 10 6  j mol −1 ), which inhibits the oxidation of Sn 2+ . The compact (BEA)FA 2 Sn 3 I 10 dominated film enables a weakened carrier localization mechanism with a charge transfer time of only 0.36 ps among the quantum wells, resulting in a carrier diffusion length over 450 nm for electrons and 340 nm for holes, respectively. Solar cell fabrication with (BEA)FA 2 Sn 3 I 10 delivers a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.43 % with negligible hysteresis. The devices can retain over 90 % of their initial PCE after 1000 h without encapsulation under N 2 environment.
