Abstract Inorganic Cs$_{2}$SnI$_{6}$ perovskite has exhibited substantial potential for light harvesting due to its exceptional optoelectronic properties and remarkable stability in ambient conditions. The charge transport characteristics within perovskite films are subject to modulation by various factors, including crystalline orientation, morphology, and crystalline quality. Achieving preferred crystalline orientation and film morphology via a solution-based process is challenging for Cs$_{2}$SnI$_{6}$ films. In this work, we employed thiourea as an additive to optimize crystal orientation, enhance film morphology, promote crystallization, and achieve phase purity. Thiourea lowers the surface energy of the (222) plane along the $\langle 111\rangle$ direction, confirmed by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy studies, and density functional theory calculations. Varying thiourea concentration enables a bandgap tuning of Cs$_{2}$SnI$_{6}$ from 1.52 eV to 1.07 eV. This approach provides a novel method for utilizing Cs$_{2}$SnI$_{6}$ films in high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
