Nature, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10714-1 A volatile-assisted coordination strategy regulates surface defect chemistry and self-doping, thus stabilizing the stoichiometry of tin perovskite semiconductors, resulting in transistors that can maintain stable operation for a month at temperatures of 100 °C.
Ongoing research into scalable, high-performance semiconductor materials is continuously yielding breakthroughs, and this specific advance addresses a key instability challenge in tin perovskites.
Tin perovskite transistors offer potential for high efficiency and low-cost manufacturing, making their stabilization crucial for next-generation electronics beyond traditional silicon.
This stabilization method directly addresses a major hurdle for tin perovskite materials, potentially enabling their widespread use in commercial applications operating at higher temperatures and for longer durations.
