Abstract: Perovskite solar cells have become the current research focus because of their high conversion efficiency and other advantages; however, the toxicity of lead used in them has raised environmental concerns. Tin-based perovskite materials have become the most promising alternative materials for perovskite solar cells because of their relatively low toxicity, suitable band gap and relatively higher energy conversion efficiency than perovskite materials based on other elements. In this article, the status of this rapidly growing field, authors’ output and cooperation, hot research topics, important references and the development trends of tin-based perovskite solar cells are identified and visualized using CiteSpace software. The main research fields are found to be optical properties, 3D–2D perovskite and perovskite solar cell conduction band materials. The mixed organic metal halide perovskite solar cell and the CsSnI 3 semiconductor are identified as emerging trends for tin-based perovskite solar cells. Such contents in this article highlight the key points in the wide field of literature so it can be understood efficiently.
