The electron‐transporting layer (ETL) plays a critical role in improving the charge extraction and suppressing the carrier recombination in planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Compact titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) film is a widely used as an ETL in conventional n‐i‐p PSCs. However, there is still much room for improvement in the electron mobility and reducing the oxygen vacancies of the compact TiO 2 film. Herein, Pt‐doped TiO 2 film with outstanding electron‐transporting property and complete coverage on the substrates is reported by the authors. Pt‐doping results in a tailed band level of TiO 2 , which could suppress the charge accumulation at the interface of TiO 2 ‐Pt/perovskite. Consequently, TiO 2 ‐Pt ETL based PSCs deliver a power conversion efficiency as high as 20.05% with an open‐circuit voltage of 1.15 V, a fill factor of 0.75, a short‐circuit current density of 23.83 mA cm −2 and remarkably alleviated hysteresis behavior.
