Abstract The large open‐circuit voltage ( V OC ) losses limit the enhancement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) in printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (p‐MPSCs). These primarily result from high defect density at grain boundaries within mesoporous scaffold, which promotes non‐radiative recombination. In this study, crystallization improvement and modulation is promoted by adopting a multifunctional ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐2,3‐dimethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (BMMIm[OTF]). imidazolium ions BMMIm[OTF] form hydrogen bonds with PbI 6 4− framework coordinate under‐coordinated lead through S═O bonds. interactions synergistically improve crystallinity films optimize energy level alignment perovskite/carbon electrode interface. This improved interface facilitates more efficient charge transfer extraction while reducing As result, champion p‐MPSCs incorporating achieve PCE 20.02% 1.055 V, significantly outperforming control devices 0.965 V. Furthermore, hydrophobic nature enhances device stability. research provides practical strategy for developing durable p‐MPSCs.
