During the past 6 years, perovskite solar cells have experienced a rapid development and shown great potential as the next‐generation photovoltaics. For the perovskite solar cells with regular structure (n‐i‐p structure), device efficiency has reached over 20% after the intense efforts of researchers from all over the world. Recently, perovskite solar cells with the inverted structure (p‐i‐n structure) have been becoming more and more attractive, owing to their easy‐fabrication, cost‐effectiveness, and suppressed hysteresis characteristics. Some recent progress in their device performance and stability has indicated their promising future. Here, recent developments and future perspectives about inverted perovskite solar cells are reviewed. Interface engineering, film morphology control, device stability, hysteresis phenomena and other research hotspots are discussed to present the roadmap for the development of inverted perovskite solar cells. Inverted perovskite solar cells are attracting much attention owing to their superior characteristics. Recent developments and future perspectives about inverted perovskite solar cells are reviewed. Interface engineering, film morphology control, device stability, hysteresis phenomena and other research hotspots are discussed to present the promising future of inverted perovskite solar cells.
