2D Dion–Jacobson (DJ) perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) with a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) are currently predominately fabricated via a hot‐casting process. The reason lies in the difficulty in preparing high‐quality perovskite films under mild conditions when the application of divalent ammonium removes the weak interaction from the spacer cation layer. Herein, the morphology of the 2D DJ perovskite film with a rigid piperidinium ring is tuned through a room‐temperature spin‐coating method, with the aid of a methylammonium thiocyanate (MASCN) additive. With the optimized amount of MASCN addition, the perovskite films deposited on the poly[bis(4‐phenyl)(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA)/poly[(9,9‐bis(30‐( N , N ‐dimethylamino)propyl)‐2,7‐uorene)‐alt‐2,7‐(9,9‐dioctylfuorene)] (PFN) substrate exhibit fine crystallinity, preferred orientation, decreased defects, and better energy‐level alignment with the hole transport layer. The device with the inverted planar structure presents a J SC of 17.91 mA cm −2 , V OC of 1.19 V, fill factor of 0.76, with a maximum PCE of 16.25%, which is the highest PCE for 2D DJ PVSCs free of hot casting. The unsealed device maintains around 80% of its initial efficiency after 35 days of exposure to air (Hr = 45 ± 5%). A potential route toward high‐performance 2D DJ PVSCs is provided.
