Perovskite photovoltaics have attracted significant attention in both academia and industry, benefiting from the superiorities of high efficiency, low cost, and simplified fabrication process. Importantly, long‐term stability is essential for practical industrialization; however, the stability challenge remains a significant impediment. Notably, stability is an essential prerequisite for practical applications. Unfortunately, as the device area increases, even to the module level, the efficiency gradually diminishes, and the stability deteriorates. This review summarizes the advances in perovskite photovoltaic technology stability from comprehensive perspectives, including the atomic‐scale, grain boundary, film morphology, interface, charge transport layer, electrode, laser etching, and module encapsulation. First, the review highlights the ongoing importance of stability in the industrialization of perovskite photovoltaics. Then, the review presents the stability challenge and explores the relationship between efficiency and stability in large‐area photovoltaic modules, shedding light on the stability issue. Later, the review explains the stability issue in terms of structure, chemistry, interfaces, device design, operation, and external environment, and proposes stability strategies ranging from the atomic‐scale to module encapsulation. Finally, the review emphasizes various improvement strategies, particularly multilevel synergistic optimization, offering fundamental guidance for the industrialization of perovskite photovoltaics.

Gas‐quenching of perovskite wet films is widely used in upscaling perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, due to uneven and turbulent gas stream generated by traditional approaches through air knife or air gun, it is a challenge to induce homogeneous nucleation and produce high‐quality perovskite films suitable for large‐area PSCs. Here this work presents a semi‐sealed gas quenching (SSGQ) strategy that produces homogeneous low‐velocity large‐area high‐pressure gas flow to extract low‐boiling‐point solvents effectively, while leaving behind perovskite intermediates undisturbed that then turn into large crystalline grains. As a result, the SSGQ‐processed perovskite films exhibit improved crystallinity and reproducibility, suppressed defect density and residual stress, as well as compact buried interface and large‐scale uniformity. Such blade‐coated large‐area (1.0 cm2) PSCs with carbon and metal electrodes achieve high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 19.5% and 23.3% (20.5% and 24.2% for 0.04 cm2), both with the lowest PCE loss of ≤1.0% among reported works. This work presents a scalable and affordable approach for fabricating high‐quality perovskite films and high‐performance perovskite photovoltaics, paving the way to PSC commercialization.

Organo‐lead‐halide perovskites are promising materials for solar cell applications with efficiencies now exceeding 26% for single junction, and over 33% for silicon tandem devices. Evaporation has proven viable for industrial scale‐up but presents challenges for perovskite materials. Perovskite precursor is introduced into self‐assembling MeO‐2PACz hole transport layers for application to 4 source perovskite coevaporation. This allows precursors that can be difficult to add via evaporation, like methylammonium chloride. These precursor molecules influence growth during evaporation, film behavior during annealing as measured by photoluminescence, and aid the conversion to perovskite as shown by X‐Ray diffraction. Devices have improved power conversion efficiency and stability compared to a control sample within the same evaporation. The best cells reach ≈21% efficiency and comparable performing ≈20% cells maintain their original efficiency after 1000 h of maximum power tracking at 25 °C. This process provides significant process flexibility for perovskite evaporation and requires no additional steps.
