Enhancing Stability and Performance in Tin-Based Perovskite Field-Effect Transistors through Hydrogen Bond Suppression of Organic Cation Migration.

Ion migration poses a substantial challenge in perovskite transistors, exerting detrimental effects on hysteresis and operational stability. This study focuses on elucidating the influence of ion migration on the performance of tin-based perovskite field-effect transistors (FETs). It is revealed that the high background carrier density in FASnI3 FETs arises not only from the oxidation of Sn2+ but also from the migration of FA+ ions. The formation of hydrogen bonding between FA+ and F- ions efficiently inhibits ion migration, leading to a reduction in background carrier density and an improvement in the operational stability of the transistors. The strategy of hydrogen bond is extended to fluorine-substituted additives to improve device performance. The incorporation of 4-fluorophenethylammonium iodide additives into FETs significantly minimizes the shift of turn-on voltage during cyclic measurements. Notably, an effective mobility of up to 30 cm2V-1s-1 with an Ion/off ratio of 107 is achieved. These findings hold promising potential for advancing tin-based perovskite technology in the field of electronics. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
