Regulation of the crystallization of perovskite films and avoiding the oxidation of Sn 2+ during the deposition process are very important for achieving Sn/Pb binary perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and producibility. In this work, a high‐quality HC(NH 2 ) 2 Pb 0.7 Sn 0.3 I 3 (FAPb 0.7 Sn 0.3 I 3 ) film deposited from the two‐step solution process by introducing methylammonium thiocyanate (MASCN) as a bifunctional additive into the precursor solution containing PbI 2 and SnI 2 is reported. MASCN can not only tune the morphology of the perovskite film but also stabilize the precursor solution via retarding the oxidation of Sn 2+ through a strong coordination between SCN − and Sn 2+ . The Sn/Pb binary inverted PVSCs based on FAPb 0.7 Sn 0.3 I 3 present a high fill factor of 0.79 and the best PCE of 16.26% in the case of 0.25 MASCN addition. The device fabrication producibility is also greatly improved due to the stabilized precursor solution with the aid of MASCN. The PCE of the device is almost independent of the storage time of the precursor solution within 124 d in the N 2 ‐filled glove box. These results indicate that the precursor engineering with multifunctionality additive is an effective approach toward highly efficient and producible PVSCs for future commercialization.
