Two-dimensional (2D) Sn-based perovskites are a kind of non-toxic environment-friendly emission material with low photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and enhanced emission linewidths compared to that of 2D Pb-based perovskites. However, there is no work systematically elucidating the reasons for the differences in the emission properties. We fabricate ${(\mathrm{BA})}_2{\mathrm{SnI}}_4$ and ${(\mathrm{BA})}_2{\mathrm{PbI}}_4$ having different defect densities and different exciton-phonon scattering intensities. We also reveal that 2D Sn-based perovskites have stronger exciton-phonon scattering intensity and higher defects density, significantly broadening the emission linewidth and accelerating the exciton relaxation process, which significantly reduces the PLQY of 2D Sn-based perovskites.
