In recent years, inorganic perovskite solar cells (IPSCs), especially those based on CsPbI2Br, have attracted considerable attention owing to their exceptional thermal stability and a well-balanced combination of light absorption and phase stability. This review provides an extensive overview of the latest progress in CsPbI2Br PSCs, focusing on film deposition techniques, crystallization control, interface engineering, and charge transport layers (CTLs). High-efficiency CsPbI2Br PSCs can be achieved through the optimization of these key aspects. Various strategies, such as solvent engineering, component/additive engineering, and interface optimization, have been explored to enhance the quality of CsPbI2Br films and improve device performance. Despite significant progress, challenges remain, including the need for even higher quality films, a deeper understanding of interface energetics, and the exploration of novel CTLs. Additionally, long-term stability continues to be a critical concern. Future research should focus on refining film preparation methods, developing sophisticated interfacial layers, exploring compatible charge transport materials, and ensuring device durability through encapsulation and moisture-resistant materials.

CsPbI2Br, an all-inorganic cesium–lead mixed-halide perovskite, has established itself as a leading contender for next-generation photovoltaics, owing to its near-optimal direct bandgap, exceptional thermal stability, and favorable optoelectronic characteristics. These attributes make it a versatile candidate for both high-efficiency single-junction devices and wide-bandgap top cells in tandem architectures with silicon or low-bandgap perovskites. However, the commercialization of CsPbI2Br perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is severely hindered by inherent interfacial challenges, including halide segregation under operational stress, high density of interfacial defects, energy-level misalignment between the perovskite and charge transport layers (CTLs), and chemical incompatibility at hetero-interfaces. These factors limit power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term operational stability. Interface engineering has thus become the pivotal strategy to address these bottlenecks, enabling transformative improvements in device performance. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art interface engineering strategies for CsPbI2Br PSCs, including molecular passivation, construction of 2D/3D heterostructures, design of composite interlayers, and development of dopant-free, stable CTLs. The underlying mechanisms of defect passivation, non-radiative recombination suppression, energy-level alignment optimization, and ion migration inhibition are systematically elucidated. Furthermore, we discuss critical remaining challenges, including the trade-off between phase stability and optoelectronic quality, interfacial delamination due to thermal expansion mismatch, and scalable fabrication of interface-modified large-area devices. Finally, future research directions are proposed, emphasizing the development of multifunctional interfacial materials, all-inorganic interface architectures, in situ characterization combined with computational modeling, and integration into tandem photovoltaic systems. By consolidating current knowledge and highlighting promising frontiers, this review aims to guide the rational design of high-performance, stable, and commercially viable CsPbI2Br PSCs, accelerating their role in the global transition toward renewable energy.
