Abstract

Methylamine (MA) and methylamine hydrochloride (MACl) are widely used to prepare highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, MA, as a gas, is difficult to handle and inevitably leads to a large amount of escape, and it is difficult to quantitatively calculate. Herein, selecting a mixture solvent of methylamine ethanol solution (MA‐EtOH sol) and acetonitrile (ACN) as a solvent, a new strategy for preparing fully printed mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (MPSCs) at room temperature is first proposed. With the introduction of 20 mol% MACl as additive, the fully printed MPSCs are fabricated without any posttreatment at room temperature via a one‐step drop‐coating method. As a consequence, the average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.73 ± 0.3% (0.1 cm 2 ) with almost no hysteresis is achieved. Most importantly, the device also exhibits excellent long‐term stability when it is unencapsulated. Specifically, the unencapsulated device still retains nearly 100% of its original PCE after 64 days and 88% after 81 days of storage in the dark with a humidity of 50 ± 5% in an atmospheric environment. It provides a new idea for constructing fully printed MPSCs at room temperature in the future.
