description Inverted-structure metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attractive advantages like low-temperature processability and outstanding device stability. The two-step sequential deposition method shows the benefits of easy fabrication and decent performance repeatability. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to achieve high-performance inverted PSCs with similar or equal power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) compared to the regular-structure counterparts via this deposition method. Here, an improved two-step sequential deposition technique is demonstrated via treating the bottom organic hole-selective layer with the binary modulation system composed of a polyelectrolyte and an ammonium salt. Such improved sequential deposition method leads to the spontaneous refinement of up and buried interfaces for the perovskite films, contributing to high film quality with significantly reduced defect density and better charge transportation. As a result, the optimized PSCs show a large enhancement in the open-circuit voltage by 100 mV and a dramatic lift in the PCE from 18.1% to 23.4%, delivering the current state-of-the-art performances for inverted PSCs. Moreover, good operational and thermal stability is achieved upon the improved inverted PSCs. This innovative strategy helps gain a deeper insight into the perovskite crystal growth and defect modulation in the inverted PSCs based on the two-step sequential deposition method.
