Abstract Efficiency, stability, and cost are crucial considerations in the development of photovoltaic technology for commercialization. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) a promising third‐generation due to their high efficiency low‐cost potential. However, stability organohalide perovskites remains significant challenge. Inorganic perovskites, based on CsPbX ₃ (X = Br − /I ), have garnered attention excellent thermal optoelectronic properties comparable those perovskites. Nevertheless, inorganic faces several hurdles, including need high‐temperature annealing achieve photoactive α‐phase susceptibility transitioning into nonphotoactive δ‐phase under environmental stressors, particularly moisture. These challenges impede creation high‐efficiency, high‐stability devices using low‐cost, scalable manufacturing processes. This review provides comprehensive background fundamental structural, physical, lead‐halide It discusses latest advancements fabricating PSCs at lower temperatures ambient conditions. Furthermore, it highlights progress state‐of‐the‐art devices, manufactured environments reduced temperatures, alongside simultaneous upscaling PSCs.

Abstract Upscaling the perovskite solar cell (PSC) while avoiding losses in power conversion efficiency presents a substantial challenge, especially when transitioning from ≤1 cm 2 cells to ≥10 modules. In addition fabrication of key functional layers, scalable technologies for surface passivation, considered indispensable achieving high‐performance PSCs, are urgently required. However, studies on this topic remain limited. study, an industry‐ready slot‐die coating method effective passivation films as practical alternative is developed spin‐coating procedures commonly used research. The conditions and molecular structure agent systematically optimized achieve high‐quality film morphology substantially suppress interface recombination. 2‐chloro‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐phenylammonium bromide exhibited best results, improving open‐circuit voltage subcells module by 80 ± 4 72 10 mV, respectively.
