[0097] In summary, this invention provides a method for fabricating a perovskite solar cell module. Based on the perovskite solar cell module proposed in the first aspect, a corresponding feasible fabrication process is given. During the fabrication process, a barrier layer 6 is introduced into the large-area perovskite solar cell module. The barrier layer 6 is located on both sides of the metal electrode interconnect between two sub-cells of the large-area perovskite solar cell module. The barrier layer uses oxides, two-dimensional materials, and polymers. Due to the corrosion resistance of the materials used, it acts as a protective film, significantly slowing down the corrosion rate of the metal and making it more robust and corrosion-resistant. The barrier layer has good thermal conductivity, which helps to greatly improve the heat dissipation performance during device operation. The barrier layer 6 material has good hydrophobicity, which can also isolate the perovskite layer 4 from the external water and oxygen phase. The barrier layer 6 has excellent chemical inertness, and the double-layer barrier layer 6 design can effectively block the mutual diffusion and reaction between the metal electrodes and halides between the interconnected sub-cells (including lateral and longitudinal directions), enhancing the long-term stability of the device. This is of great significance for the commercial development of large-area perovskite solar cells.
