Abstract Carbazole‐based self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the biased intermolecular assembly of SAM molecules, and lack Lewis ‐basic heteroatoms to efficiently tune crystallinity perovskites passivate interface defects still limited further improvement efficiency stability for PSCs involving carbazole‐based SAMs. Herein, a novel 3,6‐dithiophene molecule (named CzTh) is designed via substituent engineering strategy, which demonstrated effectively solve obstacles. The theory experiment find that introduction thiophene regulated SAMs with carbazole core terms surface wettability precursor solvent, energy level alignment, crystallization films passivation, attributed dipole moment changes, base property S atom. Consequently, CzTh achieved enhanced power conversion (PCE) excellent air stability, compared commercial (Me‐4PACz). As an “one‐stone‐three‐birds” design strategy SAMs, “thiophene‐substitution” tunes crystallization, passivates defects, enhances hole injection at perovskite/SAMs PSCs.

Abstract Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their distinct advantages, including minimal hysteresis, cost‐effectiveness, and suitability for tandem applications. Nevertheless, the solution processing low formation energy of perovskites inevitably lead numerous defects formed at both bulk interfaces layer. These can act as non‐radiative recombination centers, significantly impeding carrier transport posing a substantial obstacle stability further enhancing power conversion efficiency (PCE). This review delves into detailed discussion nature origin characterization techniques employed defect identification. Furthermore, it systematically summarizes methods detection approaches passivating interface within film in inverted PSCs. Finally, this offers perspective on employing upscaling passivation engineering modules. It is hoped provides insights PSCs
