Laboratory scale power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of ABX3 type perovskite solar cells has increased to over 25%. However, the typical solution-processed method involves spin-cast, antisolvents, or gas quench and uses N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, making it challenging to transfer for scalable fabrication. Here, we optimize a completely antisolvents/gas and DMF free solvent system for FAPbI3 based p-i-n architecture solar cells using 2-methoxyethanol. Incorporating a non-volatile and Pb2+ co-ordinating N-Methylpyrrolidone additive helps in achieving rapid dying while the deposition process at room temperature. In comparison to commonly used Pb2+ co-ordinating agents (such as DMSO or DMPU DMAc), we see no precipitation formation at any concentration. Along with high reproducibility, we recorded the highest PCE of 20.07 % [Jsc=24.19mA.cm2, Voc=1.03V and FF=80.04%] for an area of 25mm2, owing to enhanced photoluminescence quantum efficiencies, compact and pin-hole free morphology, and highly oriented crystal structure. The expansion of this technique to the processing of large areas would be straightforward.
