Solution processability significantly advances the development of highly-efficient perovskite solar cells.However,the precursor solution tends to undergo irreversible degradation reactions,impairing the device performance and reproducibility.Here,we utilize a reductive natural amino acid,N-acetylcysteine(NALC),to stabilize the precursor solution for printable carbon-based hole-conductor-free mesoscopic perovskite solar cells.We find that I2 can be generated in the aged solution containing methylammonium iodide(MAI)in an inert atmosphere and speed up the MA-FA+(formamidinium)reac-tion which produces large-size cations and hinders the formation of perovskite phase.NALC effectively stabilizes the precursor via its sulfhydryl group which reduces I2 back to I-and provides H+.The NALC-stabilized precursor which is aged for 1440 h leads to devices with a power conversion efficiency equivalent to 98%of that for devices prepared with the fresh precursor.Furthermore,NALC improves the device power conversion efficiency from 16.16%to 18.41%along with enhanced stability under atmo-spheric conditions by modifying grain boundaries in perovskite films and reducing associated defects.
