Tin halide perovskites are promising lead‐free emitters for perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs), but their practical development is limited by fast crystallization, high defect densities, and the facile oxidation of Sn 2+ . Here, we introduce a synergistic dual‐additive strategy based on urea and ammonium thiocyanate (NH 4 SCN) to simultaneously regulate crystallization and stabilize two‐dimensional TEA 2 SnI 4 films. Structural and spectroscopic analyses indicate that SCN − partially substitutes for surface I − , forming a TEA 2 SnI 4 /TEA 2 SnI 4‐x SCN x composite structure in which the stronger Sn─S interaction suppresses Sn 2+ oxidation and enhances lattice stability. Meanwhile, urea improves film crystallinity and interacts with NH 4 + through hydrogen bonding, promoting the release of coordination‐active SCN − species and reinforcing surface protection. As a result, the dual‐additive films exhibit lower trap densities, weaker nonradiative recombination, and markedly improved air stability. PeLEDs based on the optimized films deliver a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17.6% together with an operational T 50 exceeding 30 h at an initial luminance of 50 cd m −2 . This work establishes a simple yet effective route toward efficient and stable lead‐free Sn‐based PeLEDs.
