Abstract The efficiency loss caused by area scaling is one of the key factors hindering industrial development perovskite solar cells. energy and contact issues in buried interface are main reasons. Here, a new self‐assembled monolayer (SAM), Ph‐4PACz, with large dipole moment (2.32 D) obtained . It found that Ph‐4PACz high polarity can improve band alignment minimize , resulting an open‐circuit voltage ( V oc ) as 1.2 for 1.55 eV perovskite. However, when applied to large‐area devices, fill factor (FF) still suffered from significant attenuation. Therefore, alumina nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ‐NPs) introduced between rough FTO substrate further flatness conformal film almost no voids interface, thus promoting low exciton binding energy, fast hot‐carrier extraction non‐radiative recombination. final devices achieved small‐area power conversion (PCE) 25.60% (1 cm PCE 24.61% (certified at 24.48%), which represents highest single device ≥ 1 area.
