Metal halide perovskites, known for their remarkable optoelectronic properties, have emerged as promising candidates for the development of cost-effective thin-film transistors. Recent studies focusing on tin (Sn) halide perovskites have successfully fabricated p-type transistors with impressive field-effect hole mobilities exceeding 70 cm2 V−1 s−1. However, the challenge lies in the development of n-type transistors with
