Abstract

Solution‐processed perovskite (PSC) solar cells have achieved extremely high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over 20%, but practical application of this photovoltaic technology requires further advancements on both long‐term stability and large‐area device demonstration. Here, an additive‐engineering strategy is developed to realize a facile and convenient fabrication method of large‐area uniform perovskite films composed of large crystal size and low density of defects. The high crystalline quality of the perovskite is found to simultaneously enhance the PCE and the durability of PSCs. By using the simple and widely used methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI 3 ), a certified PCE of 19.19% is achieved for…
