Poor environmental stability remains a key challenge for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, three positional isomers of pyridinium-based ionic liquids (ILs)—1-butyl-2-methylpyridinium chloride (2-BMPyCl), 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium chloride (3-BMPyCl), and 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride (4-BMPyCl)—were incorporated into CsFAMA perovskite precursor solutions to investigate the relationship between IL molecular structure, perovskite film properties, and device stability. All IL-treated films exhibited larger grain sizes, reduced defects, and enhanced crystallinity compared to the pristine film. Among them, 2-BMPyCl produced the largest grains owing to its higher viscosity, which retarded crystallization and promoted grain growth. PSCs containing pyridinium-based ILs showed significantly improved ambient stability (~45% RH). Notably, the 4-BMPyCl-treated device retained 85% of its initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) after 160 days, outperforming devices treated with 3-BMPyCl (77%) and 2-BMPyCl (71%). The superior stability of 4-BMPyCl is attributed to its greater hydrophobicity and lower steric hindrance, enabling more effective defect passivation and moisture resistance. These findings demonstrate that the molecular structure of pyridinium-based ILs plays a crucial role in regulating perovskite crystallization and enhancing the long-term stability of PSCs.
