Recent years have witnessed continuous progress in metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar cells with a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 22%. However, the commercialization of MHP solar cells continues to encounter various challenges including stabilization, scalability and repeatability. Of all problems related to MHP materials, interface recombination is the most prominent, resulting in severe PCE loss within a short time. Fortunately, interface engineering has been identified as an efficient means of achieving better energy‐level alignment, reduced charge recombination, trap passivation, elimination of photocurrent hysteresis, and enhanced long‐term device stability. This review examines the relationship between specific interface modification layers and their roles in interface engineering based on device physics, revealed by several characterization methods. The latest research advances in interface modification layers according to their roles and properties are also summarized.
