Non-radiative recombination losses are reduced drastically by addition of adamantylammonium iodide (ADAHI) into the hole transporting layer (HTL) in a perovskite solar cell, resulting in high efficiency (∼22%), increased Voc up to 1245 mV, and enhanced electro-luminescence EQE to 2.5%.


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

Research in solar cells is needed to maximize Indonesia’s vast solar potential that can reach up to 207.898 MW with an average radiation of 4.8 kWh/m2/day. Organometallic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained immense attention due to their rapid increase in efficiency and compatibility with low-cost fabrication methods. Understanding the role of hole transport layer is very important to obtain highly efficient PSCs. In this work, we studied the effect of Hole Transport Layer (HTL) to the performance of perovskite solar cell. The devices with HTL exhibit substantial increase in power conversion efficiency, open circuit voltage and short circuit current compared to the device without HTL. The best performing device is PSC with CuSCN as HTL layer, namely Voc of 0.24, Isc of 1.79 mA, 0.27 FF and efficiency of 0.09%.

Perovskite solar cells have become a hot topic in the solar energy device area due to high efficiency and low cost photovoltaic technology. However, their function is limited by expensive hole transport material (HTM) and high temperature process electron transport material (ETM) layer is common device structure. Numerical simulation is a crucial technique in deeply understanding the operational mechanisms of solar cells and structure optimization for different devices. In this paper, device modelling for different perovskite solar cell has been performed for different ETM layer, namely: TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, PCBM (phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester), CdZnS, C60, IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide), WS2 and CdS and effect of band gap upon the power conversion efficiency of device as well as effect of absorber thickness have been examined. The SCAPS 1D (Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator) has been a tool used for numerical simulation of these devices.

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.
