| Abstract: | High crystallinity and compactness of the active layer is essential for metal‐halide perovskite solar cells. Here, a simple pseudohalide‐induced film retreatment technology is developed as the passivation for preformed perovskite film. It is found that the retreatment process yields a controllable decomposition‐to‐recrystallization evolution of the perovskite film. Corresponding, it remarkably enlarges the grain size of the film in all directions, as well as improving the crystallinity and hindering the trap density. Meanwhile, owing to an intermediate catalytic effect of the pseudohalide compound (NH4SCN), no crystal orientation changing and no impurity introduction in the modified film. By integrating the modified perovskite film into the planar heterojunction solar cells, a champion power conversion efficiency of 19.44% with a stabilized output efficiency of 19.02% under 1 sun illumination is obtained, exhibiting a negligible current density–voltage hysteresis. Moreover, such a facile and low‐temperature film retreatment approach guarantees the application in flexible devices, showing a best power conversion efficiency of 17.04%. |
