The current utmost challenge for commercialization of perovskite solar cells is to ensure long-term operation stability. Here, we developed the pulsatile therapy which can prolong device lifetime by addressing accumulation of both charges and ions in the middle of maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In the technique, reverse biases are repeatedly applied for a very short time without any pause of operation, leading to stabilization of the working device. The observed efficacies of our pulsatile therapy are delaying irreversible degradation as well as restoring degraded photocurrent during MPPT operation. We suggest an integrated mechanism underlying the therapy, in which harmful deep-level defects can be prevented to form and already formed defects can be cured by driving charge-state transition. We demonstrated the therapy to maintain defect-tolerance continuously, leading to outstanding improvement of lifetime and harvesting power. The unique technique will open up new possibility to commercialize perovskite materials into a real market.
