Abstract Interfacial defects between perovskite and adjacent charge transport layers present a significant obstacle, hindering the enhancement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) stability in solar cells (PSCs). To address this challenge, dual‐interface modification is proposed to aim at improving performance mixed‐halide PSCs. Specifically, hole‐collecting side modified with 5‐Aminopyridine‐2‐carboxylic Acid (APC), while electron‐collecting 2‐thiopheneethylammonium chloride (TEACl). The multifunctional APC enhances transfer by tailoring interface poly(triarylamine) (PTAA) through multiple bonding interactions, thereby suppressing interfacial nonradiative recombination. Density functional theory studies reveal that on surface induces uniform adsorption energy, promoting homogenous crystallization without residual stress. Additionally, interlayer eliminates localized edge states induced iodine vacancies near conduction band edge. Further improvement device achieved passivating top TEACl, leading well‐matched energy bands reduced vacancy trap states. As result, champion cell achieves PCE 24.87% an open‐circuit voltage 1.188 V. Furthermore, improves thermal due enhanced ion‐migration activation energy.
