Owing to the low cost and high efficiency in power conversion, perovskites have become a popular material for solar cells. Different from three-dimensional (3D) perovskites, two-dimensional (2D) perovskites tend to acquire high stability and high resistance to moisture. In addition, while lead is a commonly used B cation in 2D perovskites, it brings serious environmental damage. Therefore, people have been trying to replace lead (Pb) with tin (Sn), which is an almost harmless metal, in perovskites. This paper talks about the latest developments of 2D perovskites, as well as their prospect and future research directions.
