Abstract

Abstract Unreacted/excess lead iodide is considered to be the archcriminal for the rapid degradation of hybrid perovskite solar cells. Meanwhile, a high‐quality perovskite film with uniform and large grain size is the basis for high‐performance perovskite modules. Herein, a dual‐site molecular additive 4‐Aniline Sulfonic Acid (4A) is developed to regulate the unreacted/excess PbI 2 and passivate defects through hydrogen bonding and intermolecular interactions between amino, and a sulfate groups and PbI 2 , respectively. Furthermore, the introduction of the 4A additive can induce perovskite seeds to grow uniformly on the substrate, yielding dense, uniform and defect‐less perovskite films with large grain sizes. This enables the fabrication of perovskite photovoltaics with a maximum power conversion efficiency of 24.09% (0.09 cm 2 ) and 20.87% (16 cm 2 ), respectively. This work demonstrated a new strategy to deposit high‐quality large‐scale perovskite films for photovoltaic modules.
