Abstract

Abstract Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted considerable attention due to their superior optoelectronic properties. Traditional one‐step solution‐processed perovskites often suffer from defects‐induced nonradiative recombination, which significantly hinders the improvement of device performance. Herein, treatment with green antisolvents for achieving high‐quality perovskite films is reported. Compared to defects‐filled ones, perovskite films by antisolvent treatment using methylamine bromide (MABr) in ethanol (MABr‐Eth) not only enhances the resultant perovskite crystallinity with large grain size, but also passivates the surface defects. In this case, the engineering of MABr‐Eth‐treated perovskites suppressing defects‐induced nonradiative recombination in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is demonstrated. As a result, the fabricated inverted planar heterojunction device of ITO/PTAA/Cs 0.15 FA 0.85 PbI 3 /PC 61 BM/Phen‐NADPO/Ag exhibits the best power conversion efficiency of 21.53%. Furthermore, the corresponding PSCs possess a better storage and light‐soaking stability.
