Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have captured significant interest due to their outstanding stability, cost-effective fabrication process, and good compatibility with flexible and tandem devices. The presence of bulk and surface defects is key factor in PSCs that cause non-radiative recombination and degradation. To improve the efficiency and stability of inverted PSCs, a bulk-to-surface dual-passivation strategy is employed by utilizing Oleylamine Iodide (OAmI) as additives and 4-Fluorobenzylamine Hydroiodide (4-F-PMAI) as surface passivating agents. Utilizing OAmI as bulk passivation can enhance the crystallinity of perovskite films and reduce lattice defects. Meanwhile, 4-F-PMAI further suppresses non-radiative recombination and reduces open-circuit voltage (VOC) loss through bidentate anchoring. Consequently, the dual-passivation strategy significantly enhances device performance, boosting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs to 24.26%, with a VOC of 1.15V. Moreover, the unencapsulated PSCs show excellent long-term stability maintaining over 85% and 90% of the initial efficiency under 85 °C thermal annealing in N2 for 1000 hours and after storage in ambient conditions (RH: 30 ± 5%) for 1000 hours.
