Abstract Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs), particularly those molecules composed of carbazole and phosphonic acid, are widely employed as effective hole‐selective layer (HSL) in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the insufficient chemical bond formation with metal oxides (ITO) self‐aggregation solvents acid SAM led to non‐uniform HSL, which turn affect power conversion efficiency (PCE) stability PSCs. Herein, a series benzoic materials (BAs), including p‐fluorobenzoic (FBA) p‐methylbenzoic (MBA), used post‐assembly effectively fill voids between [4‐(3,6‐dimethyl‐9H‐carbazole‐9‐yl)butyl]phosphonic (Me‐4PACz) form denser facilitates passivation buried interface. In addition, post‐assembled BAs different dipole moments can adjust work function Me‐4PACz facilitating transport extraction charge carriers. Consequently, PSCs based on Me‐4PACz/FBA HSL realize champion PCE 25.58%. Moreover, unencapsulated devices maintain 82% 94% after 800 h outdoor storage (RH≈60%) 2000 glove box, respectively.
