A highly flexible perovskite film prepared by incorporating elastomer polyurethane (PU) is described by Licheng Tan, Yiwang Chen, and co‐workers in article number 1703061 . By cross‐linking the grain boundaries between neighboring perovskite crystals, a PU network is formed to significantly improve the bendability of perovskite films. This strategy is expected to be of profound significance for the realization of perovskite solar cells as flexible and wearable devices.
