The inferior interfaces at both the perovskite (PVK)/SnO₂ electron transport layer (ETL) and PVK/carbon electrode (C), particularly defect states and energy level misalignment, remain primary bottlenecks. Here, a bifacial modification strategy based on sodium oxamate (SO) is proposed, revealing its effective modulation of the properties at both above interfaces. Comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that SO effectively modulates both the SnO₂/PVK and PVK/C interfaces. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations coupled with experimental evidence demonstrate that SO not only optimizes the electron mobility of SnO₂ and synergistically aligns the energy level gradient across the SnO₂/PVK/C stack, but also facilitates effective defect passivation at both interfaces. Specifically, the carbonyl groups of SO coordinates with undercoordinated Sn⁴⁺ ions at the SnO₂ surface, passivating detrimental oxygen vacancies, while the amino groups of SO bind to undercoordinated Pb²⁺ ions at the PVK interfaces. Furthermore, the Na⁺ ions significantly suppress the migration of I⁻ ions within the PVK lattice. Consequently, the champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of HTL-Free C-PSCs with SO delivers is 18.03%. Moreover, the prolongs lifetime over 90% of the initial PCE after 1000 h in environmental conditions. This work introduces an effective bifacial interface engineering strategy for efficient and stable HTL-free C-PSCs.
