Interface engineering has been proven to be an effective method to improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, 5‐chloroindole (Cl‐indole) is introduced into the interface of a SnO 2 electron transport layer and perovskite light‐absorbing layer to improve the photovoltage performance of the device. The results show that Cl−indole can not only form hydrogen bonds with iodine in the perovskite to optimize the interface contact but also coordinate and passivate the Pb 2+ and Sn 4+ interface defects to alleviate carrier nonradiative recombination. Compared with the pristine SnO 2 ‐based planar PSCs with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.58%, the Cl−indole‐modified SnO 2 ‐based device achieves a PCE of 22.47%. Meanwhile, the stability of the modified device is effectively improved and the hysteresis effect is reduced. This work demonstrates a promising strategy for high‐efficient and stable PSCs by optimizing interface contact and passivating interface defects.
