Despite the rapid efficiency advancement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), non-radiative recombination at buried interface between self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and remains a critical bottleneck, primarily due to interfacial defects energy level mismatch. In this study, we demonstrate bifunctional interlayer engineering strategy by introducing 4,5-diiodoimidazole (4,5-Di-I) Me-4PACz/perovskite interface. This approach uniquely addresses two fundamental limitations SAM-based interfaces: insufficient defect passivation capability conventional Me-4PACz steric hindrance effects poor wettability on hydrophobic SAM surfaces that exacerbates voids. The imidazole derivatives not only form strong Pb–N coordination bonds with undercoordinated Pb2+ but also modulate surface Me-4PACz, enabling growth pinhole-free films preferential crystal orientation. champion device 4,5-Di-I modification achieves power conversion (PCE) 24.10%, VOC enhancement from 1.12 V 1.14 V, while maintaining 91% initial PCE after 1300 h in N₂ atmosphere (25 °C), demonstrating superior stability under ISOS-L-2 protocols. work establishes universal for multifunctionality design, proving simultaneous suppression crystallization control can break long-standing trade-off solution-processed photovoltaics.

Chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) are commonly constructed by introducing pairs of enantiomorphic chiral precursors through a single chirality transfer pathway, which may limit the regulation structural diversity and chiroptoelectronic properties. Herein, we propose new strategy for achieving reversible induction OIHMHs with inverted chiroptical properties external internal pathways, utilizing reagent R-/S-α-methylbenzylamine (R-/S-MBA).
