Upscaling and stabilizing efficient wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are critical for the commercialization of tandem photovoltaics. Herein, solvent engineering is applied for scalable deposition of wide-bandgap (≈1.72 eV) perovskite by the introduction of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) additives, which enables compact and phase-stable FA0.83Cs0.17Pb(I0.7Br0.3)3 perovskite even without the use of antisolvent. By further passivation with a 2-thiophenemethylammonium bromide (2-ThMABr)-based quasi-2D perovskite (n = 2) on the surface of 3D perovskite, a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.46% with a higher open-circuit voltage of 1.219 V for a small-sized wide-bandgap PSC is achieved. It also exhibits excellent long-term stability, maintaining 93% of its initial PCE after 2000 h storage in the air without encapsulation. In addition, this wide-bandgap perovskite is also easy to be upscaled via a blade-coating strategy, which demonstrates high PCEs of 16.07% and 13.03% with active areas of 46.5 and 123.0 cm2, respectively. Furthermore, the application of this wide-bandgap perovskite for four-terminal (4-T) perovskite/silicon (Si) tandem solar cells also demonstrates high PCEs of 23.85% and 19.51% with active areas of 0.16 and 1.0 cm2. The work demonstrates a great potential toward large-area efficient and stable wide-bandgap PSCs and perovskite/Si tandem cells.
