Abstract
The cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite solar cell possesses a wide band gap ranging from 1.65 to 1.75 eV, which is suitable for integration into a tandem structure along with a low-band-gap silicon solar cell. Moreover, CsPbI3 has received considerable attention as a potential solution for the prevalent issues of low thermal stability of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells and phase segregation encountered in conventional mixed halide wide-band-gap perovskite solar cells. Through the implementation of volatile additives, CsPbI3 has demonstrated substantial advancements in efficiency, process temperature, and stability. This study introduces a novel approach for barium (Ba)-doping by spraying an antisolvent containing barium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) during the spin-coating process. By incorporating Ba2+ through this spraying technique, the formation of the delta phase in CsPbI3 is significantly suppressed; thereby, a power conversion efficiency of 18.56% is achieved, and a remarkable 93% of the initial efficiency is maintained after 600 h.

Abstract
Recently, γ-CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown potential applications in optoelectronic devices, due to their high thermal stability. However, the incomplete utilization of the solar spectra especially in the near-infrared (ca. 46%) range significantly limits the power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, core-shell-structured NaLuF4:Yb,Er@NaLuF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been successfully synthesized and integrated into the hole transport layer for improving PCE in γ-CsPbI3 PSCs. Compared with the reference one, the short-circuit current density ( JSC) and PCE of the optimized device reached up to 19.17 mA/cm2 (18.81 mA/cm2) and 15.86% (15.51%), respectively. Actually, due to the ultralow photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, < 1%) obtained in UCNPs now, we proved the generally recognized upconversion effect of UCNPs in solar cells (adjusting the light absorption edge from the visible toward NIR range for extending the spectral absorption) was negligible. A further study found the UCNPs in the PSCs primarily served as scattering centers, which is beneficial to extend the sunlight optical path by combining with scattering and reflecting sunlight, leading to producing more photoelectric current. This study suggests a new insight into understanding the underlying mechanism of UCNPs in the PSCs and provides a promising strategy via light scattering effect to enhance the device performance.
