Passivation engineering is essential for enhancing the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Grain boundaries (GBs) in perovskite films contain defects that cause non-radiative recombination and allow moisture, oxygen, and lithium ions to penetrate, accelerating degradation. Lewis base-containing polymers can passivate these defects by forming Lewis adducts with uncoordinated Pb²⁺ ions.Conventional polymer passivation faces trade-offs: high concentrations offer full coverage but increase resistance, while low concentrations reduce resistance but leave GBs exposed. To address this, we developed a multifunctional polymer enabling dual passivation in both the perovskite and hole transport layers (HTL). This strategy reduces band offset, blocks lithium-ion migration, and suppresses pinhole and void formation. As a result, our PSCs achieved 24.0% power conversion efficiency and retained 92% of initial performance after 2000 hours in ambient conditions.
