    Inorganic perovskite solar cells (IPSCs) have attained attention due to their excellent thermal and phase stability. In this work, we demonstrate a novel approach for fabricating IPSCs, using the strategies of interface passivation and anti-solvent before spin-coating perovskite. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and chlorobenzene (CB) are used as passivator and anti-solvent, respectively. The CB improves the perovskite crystal morphology. Meanwhile, PMMA passivates the defects between poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) and perovskite layer, thus increasing the short-circuit current. Excitingly, we find that PMMA benefits the grain boundaries (GBs) of perovskite, which makes it more humidity-resistant, increasing the stability of perovskite film. Especially, PMMA mitigates interfacial charge losses, and the devices based on CsPbI3-xBrx passivated by PMMA exhibit the power conversion efficiency (PCE) much higher than those based on pure CsPbI3-xBrx.
