Abstract Extended efficiency of solar cells to ensemble more solar energy as well as its optimum conversion and utilization is believed to be a major challenge in current times. The spectral mismatch between the distribution of energy in the solar spectrum incidence and the semiconducting material band gap is a major restriction in the performance of solar cells. The conversion of wavelength of the sun is a necessary requisite to reduce spectral disruption. Of late, the solar cell converters are presumed as up-converted components and products derived from down conversion. Materials like NaCsWO3, NaYF4, and NaYF4: Yb, Er are synthesized and used to overcome the problem like deficiency of up-conversion luminescence (UCL) materials and device structures. The intensity of UCL can be enhanced by a significant time when the amount of NaCsWO3 is 2.8 m mol per cent. UCL material is considered as one of the best approaches to obtain high-efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In order to overcome these difficulties, not only were these effective up-conversion nano-particles (UPCNPs) doped into the hole layer but the perovskite foil was also modified in PSCs. The highest power conversion (PCE) performance reached 18.89%. Enhanced UCLs allow for UCNPs to extend the recognition spectrum of near PSCs. The objective of this comprehensive and focused review is to highlight the different synthesis techniques used in up-conversion nano-materials, for solar cell applications along with a theoretical perspective in this regard.

Abstrak. Sel surya berbasis perovskite merupakan sel fotovoltaik generasi terakhir yang mampu memanfaatkan energi surya dengan efisiensi tinggi dan dapat difabrikasi melalui proses yang sederhana dan murah. Sejak diperkenalkannya perovskite solar cell (PSC), efisiensi konversi dayanya telah mencapai efisiensi di atas 23% dalam waktu yang relatif singkat diiringi dengan peningkatan publikasi ilmiah di bidang ini. Penggunaan semikonduktor ZnO sebagai Electron Transport Material (ETM) yang merupakan salah satu bagian utama dalam PSC mulai dilirik akibat proses pembuatan yang lebih sederhana dibandingkan TiO2. Seng oksida (ZnO) masih memiliki kelemahan yang dapat diatasi dengan penambahan ZnS untuk mengurangi rekombinasi pembawa muatan dari lapisan perovskite ke ETM. Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk menyajikan tinjauan singkat tentang status terkini mengenai komposit ZnO/ZnS sebagai elektron transport material pada sel surya perovskit. Ulasan ini juga membahas peran penambahan ZnS dalam memperbaiki morfologi dalam ukuran nano dan sifat optik material sekaligus meningkatkan kinerja PSC beserta penjelasan mengenai mekanisme dasar operasi piranti untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang sifat dari ZnO/ZnS sebagai ETM pada sel surya perovskit. Abstract. Perovskite-based solar cells are the latest generation of photovoltaic cells capable of utilizing solar energy at high efficiency and can be fabricated through a simple and inexpensive process. Since the introduction of the perovskite solar cell (PSC), its power conversion efficiency has reached efficiencies above 23% in a relatively short period of time accompanied by an increase in scientific publications in this field. The use of ZnO semiconductors as Electron Transport Material (ETM), which is one of the main parts of PSC, has begun to be noticed due to the simpler manufacturing process compared to TiO2. Zinc oxide (ZnO) still has a weakness which can be overcome by adding ZnS to reduce the recombination of the charge carriers from the perovskite layer to the ETM. The aim of this article is to present a brief overview of the current status of ZnO/ZnS composites as an electron transport material in perovskite solar cells. This review also discusses the role of addition of ZnS in improving morphology in nanosize and optical properties of materials as well as improving PSC performance along with an explanation of the basic mechanism of device operation to provide a better understanding of the properties of ZnO/ZnS as ETM in perovskite solar cells. Keywords: Perovskite solar cell, Composite, ZnO, ZnS dan Electron Transport Material.

The researchers now days are avid of solar cells despite the efficiency issues. As lead-based halide perovskite exhibit toxic nature alternatives for the anti- toxic perovskite solar cells(PSCs) are gaining much research. Bis(sulfanylidene )tungsten is a toxic free feasible emerging option with direct band gap of value 1.8 eV. Tungsten disulfide is other chemical name of Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten. In this paper, perovskite solar cell (PSC) with Bis(sulfanylidene)tungsten (WS2 ) as electron transport layer and spiro-OMeTAD as hole transport layer is modelled and simulated using SCAPS software to analyze performance parameters. The device simulations results are compared for comprehensive defect study of WS2 as ETL. With integration of WS2 and spiro-OMeTAD in the perovskite design, the outcomes are proficient enough with 25.96% of PCE, 22.06 mA/cm2 Jsc, 1.280V Voc and 91.76% FF. Launching the batch setup for absorber layer thickness further resulted with competent PCE 27.78%. The outcomes signified that the toxic-free WS2 based PSC can be a prominent upcoming perspective in terms of environmentally pristine nature and capitulate comparative high efficiency
