Abstract
Tin-based halide perovskite materials are of interest for light-emitting applications due to their broad yellow emission, but
they are known to exhibit inferior stability compared to the lead-based perovskites due to tendency of Sn2+ to be readily
oxidized. Here we investigated the ambient stability of a Dion-Jacobson tin bromide perovskite. We found that the optical
properties of the samples were more significantly affected by the moisture rather than the ratio of Sn2+/Sn4+. The exposure
to humidity resulted in changes in the ratio of 2D HDASnBr4 and hydrated 1D HDA3SnBr8 phases (where HDA denotes hexane-
1,6-diammonium), with initial increase (up to ~40 h) in luminescence attributed to increasing fraction of hydrated 1D phase
which contributes to self-trapped exciton emission. With further exposure to humidity, the material starts to degrade
resulting in reduced luminescence after ~40 h. The use of additives for the suppression of oxidation of Sn2+, namely SnCl2
and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), results in prolonging the lifetime of the samples (>260 h for thin films with additives,
compared to 180 h for thin films without additives). However, the persistence of luminescence with increased time of
ambient exposure in samples prepared with additives can be attributed to the changes in the evolution of phase
composition (ratios of 2D and hydrated 1D phases) over time rather than suppressing the oxidation of Sn2+.
