Abstract
The development of a stable roll-to-roll (R2R) process for flexible large-area perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and modules is a pressing challenge. In this study, we introduced a new R2R PSC manufacturing system that employs a two-step deposition method for coating perovskite and uses intensive pulsed light (IPL) for annealing. This system has successfully fabricated small-sized cells and the first-ever large-sized, R2R-processed flexible modules. A key focus of our work was to accelerate the conversion of PbI2 to perovskite. To this end, we utilized IPL annealing and incorporated additives into the PbI2 layer. With these modifications, the R2R-processed perovskite films achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.87%, representing the highest reported value for R2R two-step processed PSCs. However, these cells exhibited hysteresis in reverse and forward PCE measurements. To address this, we introduced a dual-annealing process consisting of IPL followed by a 2-min thermal heating step. This approach successfully reduced hysteresis, resulting in low-hysteresis, R2R-processed flexible PSCs. Moreover, we fabricated large-scale flexible modules (10 × 10 cm2) with a PCE of 11.25% using the dual-annealing system, marking a significant milestone in this field.

Abstract
Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been widely used as the top cell of tandem solar cells. However, photoinduced phase segregation and high open-circuit voltage loss pose significant obstacles to the development of WBG PSCs. Here, a two-step small-size A-site and large-size X-site incorporation strategy is reported to modulate the lattice distortion and improve the film quality of WBG formamidinium-methylammonium (FAMA) perovskite films for photostable PSCs based on two-step deposition method. First, CsI with content of 0-20% is introduced to tune the lattice distortion and film quality of FAMA perovskite with a bandgap of 1.70 eV. Then, 4% RbI is incorporated to further modulate the perovskite growth and lattice distortion, leading to the suppression of photoinduced phase segregation in the resultant RbCsFAMA quadruple cation perovskites. As a result, the 20%CsI/4%RbI-doped device obtains a promising efficiency of 20.6%, and the corresponding perovskite film shows good photothermal stability. Even without encapsulation, the device can maintain 92% of its initial efficiency after 1000 h of continuous operation under 1 sun equivalent white light-emitting diode illumination.

Abstract
The quality of two-step processed perovskites is significantly influenced by the distribution of organic amine salts. Especially, modulating the distribution of organic amine salts remains a grand challenge for sequential vapor-deposited perovskites due to the blocking effect of bottom compact PbI2. Herein, an ultrahigh humidity treatment strategy is developed to facilitate the diffusion of formamidinium iodide (FAI) from the top surface to the buried bottom interface on the sequential vapor-deposited bilayer structure. Both experimental and theoretical investigations elucidate the mechanism that moisture helps to i) create FAI diffusion channels by inducing a phase transition from α- to δ-phase in the perovskite, and ii) enhance the diffusivity of FAI by forming hydrogen bonds. This ultrahigh humidity treatment strategy enables the formation of a desired homogeneous and high-quality α-phase after annealing. As a result, a champion efficiency of 22.0% is achieved and 97.5% of its initial performance is maintained after aging for 1050 h under ambient air with a relative humidity of up to 80%. This FAI diffusion strategy provides new insights into the reproducible, scalable, and high-performance sequential vapor-deposited perovskite solar cells.

Abstract
With rapid progress in light-to-electric conversion efficiencies, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have exhibited great potential as next-generation low-cost, efficient photovoltaic technology. In this perspective, we briefly review the development of PSCs from discovery to laboratory research to commercializing progress. The past several decades have witnessed great achievement in device efficiency and stability due to tremendous research efforts on compositional, process, and interfacial engineering. Regarding commercial applications, we expound the merits and disadvantages of PSCs compared to the existing silicon photovoltaic technologies. Although PSCs promise solution processability and low manufacturing cost, their limited stability and element toxicity should to be addressed on the path to commercialization. Finally, we provide future perspectives on commercialization of PSCs in the photovoltaic marketplace. It is suggested that PSCs will be more promising in low-cost modules and tandem configurations.

Abstract
The influence of precursor solution properties, fabrication environment, and antisolvent properties on the microstructural evolution of perovskite films is reported. First, the impact of fabrication environment on the morphology of methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3 ) perovskite films with various Lewis-base additives is reported. Second, the influence of antisolvent properties on perovskite film microstructure is investigated using antisolvents ranging from nonpolar heptane to highly polar water. This study shows an ambient environment that accelerates crystal growth at the expense of nucleation and introduces anisotropies in crystal morphology. The use of antisolvents enhances nucleation but also influences ambient moisture interaction with the precursor solution, resulting in different crystal morphology (shape, size, dispersity) in different antisolvents. Crystal morphology, in turn, dictates film quality. A homogenous spherulitic crystallization results in pinhole-free films with similar microstructure irrespective of processing environment. This study further demonstrates propyl acetate, an environmentally benign antisolvent, which can induce spherulitic crystallization under ambient environment (52% relative humidity, 25 °C). With this, planar perovskite solar cells with ≈17.78% stabilized power conversion efficiency are achieved. Finally, a simple precipitation test and in situ crystallization imaging under an optical microscope that can enable a facile a priori screening of antisolvents is shown.
