Abstract The performance of state‐of‐the‐art perovskite solar cells is currently limited by defect‐induced recombination at interfaces between the and electron hole transport layers. These defects, most likely undercoordinated Pb halide ions, must either be removed or passivated if cell efficiencies are to approach their theoretical limit. In this work, a universal double‐side polymer passivation introduced using ultrathin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films. Very high‐efficiency (≈20.8%)...
