Abstract Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for next‐generation photovoltaic technologies. However, films deposited by blade‐coating usually exhibit inferior film morphology compared to those fabricated spin‐coating, which hinders power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability scalable modules (PSMs). Herein, ellipsoidal colloids are tailored in precursor solution incorporating polymer additives. Compared unregulated spherical colloids, demonstrate more oriented packing during process, is due anisotropic driven force from fluidic flow meniscus. As a result improved morphology, regulated PSCs PSMs achieve superior PCE 24.31% 21.67% (21.37% certified), respectively, aperture areas 0.09 13.94 cm 2 , 89% initial after 600 h continuous operation.

Abstract Formamidinium‐lead triiodide (FAPbI 3 ) perovskite holds promise as a prime candidate in the realm of photovoltaics. However, photo‐active α‐FAPbI phase, existing metastable state, is observable solely at elevated temperatures and susceptible to degradation into δ‐phase ambient air. Therefore, attainment phase‐stable conditions has become crucial objective research. Here, we proposed an efficient conversion process PbI 2 perovskites This was facilitated by introduction chelating molecules, which interacted with form intermediate phase. Due reduced formation barrier resulting from altered reaction pathway, this stable phase transitioned directly upon deposition organic cation solution, effectively bypassing δ‐FAPbI . Consequently, ambient‐fabricated FAPbI solar cells (PSCs) exhibited outstanding power efficiency 25.08 %, along high open‐circuit voltage 1.19 V. Furthermore, unencapsulated devices demonstrated remarkable environmental stability. Notably, innovative approach promises broad applicability across various opening new avenues for further progress air fabrication PSCs.

Carbon-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) coupled with solution-processed hole transport layers (HTLs) have shown potential owing to their combination of low cost and high performance. However, the commonly used poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) semicrystalline-polymer HTL dominantly shows edge-on molecular orientation, in which alkyl side chains directly contact layer, resulting an electronically poor at perovskite/P3HT interface.

To tackle this critical issue, we propose a chemical bridge strategy to reconstruct interface using organometallic molecules. The commercially available molecule bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (FcP2), with unique molecular structure, anchors chelates Pb atoms by forming strong Pb-P bonds passivates surfaces boundaries. Detailed characterization revealed that FcP2 reconstruction can effectively suppress recombination, electron delocalization properties ferrocene core achieve more balanced interfacial transport. resultant N-i-P PSC device outputs close 25% together one best reported operational stabilities, maintaining over 95% initial after 1000 h continuous operation at maximum power point under 1-sun illumination.
