The low cost and scalability advantages of printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (p‐MPSCs) are impaired by the issue of limited power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, the PCE of p‐MPSCs is improved by introducing the polymer additive polyacrylonitrile (PAN) into the formamidinium (FA)‐based perovskite for crystallization and defect modulation. PAN forms hydrogen bond and coordination bond with halide perovskite through its C≡N group. Such interactions improve the crystallization and filling of FA‐based perovskite in the mesoscopic scaffold and bring a long carrier lifetime by passivating defects. The synergy improves the PCE of p‐MPSCs from 16.80% to 18.33%. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic nature of PAN enhances the device's resistance against moisture. This work demonstrates that the polymer additive is a promising choice for breaking the PCE limit of p‐MPSCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
