In this work, a hydrophilic fullerene derivative 6,6‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid‐(3,4,5‐tris(2‐(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)methanol ester (PCBB‐OEG) is introduced as additive in the methylammonium iodide precursor solution in the preparation of MAPbI3 perovskite film by two‐step sequential deposition method, and obtained a top‐down gradient distribution with an ultrathin top layer of PCBB‐OEG. Meanwhile, a high‐quality perovskite film with high crystallinity, less trap‐states, and dense‐grained uniform morphology can well grow on both hydrophilic (poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonic acid)) and hydrophobic (polytriarylamine, PTAA) hole transport layers. When the PCBB‐OEG‐containing perovskite film (pero‐0.1) is prepared in a p‐i‐n planar pero‐SC with the configuration of ITO/PTAA/pero‐0.1/6,6‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester/Al, the device delivers a promising power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.2% without hysteresis, which is one of the few PCE over 20% for the p‐i‐n planar pero‐SCs. Importantly, the pero‐0.1‐based device shows an excellent stability that can retain 98.4% of its initial PCE after being exposed for 300 h under ambient atmosphere with a high humidity, and the flexible pero‐SCs based on pero‐0.1 also demonstrate a promising PCE of 18.1%. It is demonstrated that a new strategy of two‐step method provides a simple way to develop high‐quality perovskite film. The perovskite solar cells (pero‐SCs) show a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.2% with an excellent device stability. This strategy can also be suitable for fabricating flexible pero‐SC giving a promising PCE of 18.1%.
