Fig. 2

UPS spectra of VBM onset and photoemission cutoff energy boundary of (a) SnS2 and (b) Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETLs. The Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETL shows the shallowest CBM position, highlighting its potential as the preferred ETL candidate for nip-type TPSCs. c KPFM curves and images of the TiO2, SnS2 and Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETLs. The scalebars are 1 um. d UV-vis optical transmission spectra of TiO2, SnS2 and Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETLs, revealing similar optical transparency between the Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETL and the TiO2 ETL throughout the spectrum. e J-V curves at the trap-free SCLC regime of TiO2, SnS2 and Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETLs, fitted with the Mott-Gurney law. The results suggest that the mobility of the Sn(S0.92Se0.08)2 ETL is an order of magnitude higher than that of the TiO2 ETL.
