Abstract
Solar photovoltaics offers a promising avenue for sustainable power generation, with perovskite solar cells gaining significant interest due to their cost effectiveness and remarkable performance. Lead-based perovskites, while possessing superior electron mobility and carrier properties, raise concerns due to environmental and health risks. Substituting lead with tin holds promise. Tin halide perovskites, particularly with iodine as the halide, exhibit lower band gaps, suggesting heightened efficiency. However, managing the crystallization process, crucial for achieving films with desired morphological properties and crystal phase purity, poses a significant challenge for perovskite materials. Although solvent and additive engineering are extensively explored, their specific effects on the colloidal properties of perovskite suspensions received relatively little attention. This review aims to provide an overview of the world of colloids, shedding light on how the manipulation of colloidal properties in perovskite suspensions can exert a substantial influence on the crystallization kinetics of halide perovskite thin films.
