Tin-based perovskite solar cells offer a promising Pb-free alternative for photovoltaic applications. But their practical deployment is hindered by the Sn2+ oxidation, which introduces structural defects and affects device performance and stability. In this study, we have used a series of fullerene-based multifunctional derivatives, such as F-COOH, F-OH, and F-OSO3H, were employed as additives to interact with Sn2+ ions. Among these additives, F-COOH demonstrated the most effective I suppressing Sn4+ formation and reducing non-radiative recombination losses. This results in improved device efficiency from 8.20 to 11.22 % along with enhanced reproducibility and operational stability. This work highlights the critical role of functional group selection in the molecular design of additives. It provides a viable strategy for advancing efficient and stable lead-free perovskite solar cell technologies.
