The two?step air?processed efficient PSCs with full lifecycle management are effectively realized by the polymer?stabilized precursor ink. The modified PSCs deliver an impressive efficiency of 25.18% with superior environmental and mechanical stability. The end?of?life PSCs with lead leakage suppression and device regeneration will not pose a threat to the environmental and biological safety.Despite the outstanding power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) realized over the years, the entire lifecycle from preparation and operation to discarding of PSCs still needs to be carefully considered when it faces the upcoming large?scale production and deployment. In this study, bio?derived chitin?based polymers are employed to realize the full lifecycle regulation of air?processed PSCs by forming multiple coordinated and hydrogen bonds to stabilize the lead iodide and organic salt precursor inks, accelerating the solid–liquid reaction and crystallization of two?step deposition process, then achieving the high crystalline and oriented perovskites with less notorious charge defects in the open air. The air?prepared PSCs exhibit a decent efficiency of 25.18% with high preparation reproducibility and improved operational stability toward the harsh environment and mechanical stress stimuli. The modified PSCs display negligible fatigue behavior with keeping 92% of its initial efficiency after operating for 32 diurnal cycles (ISOS?LC?1 protocol). Meanwhile, closed?loop lead management of end?of?life PSCs including suppression of lead leakage, toxicity evaluation of broken devices, and recycling of lead iodide components are comprehensively investigated. This work sheds light on a promising avenue to realize the entire lifecycle regulation of air?processed efficient and stable PSCs.
