AB  - Development of ternary metal oxide (TMO) based electron transporting layer (ETL) 
      for perovskite solar cell open a new approaches toward efficient a unique 
      strategy for solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs). In the present 
      investigation, highly porous zinc tin oxide (Zn2SnO4) scaffold nanofibers has 
      been synthesized by electrospinning technique and successfully used for methyl 
      ammonium lead halide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite sensitized solid state solar cells. 
      The fabricated optimized perovskite solar cell devices exhibited 7.38% power 
      conversion efficiency (PCE) with open circuit voltage (VOC) 0.986 V, current 
      density (JSC) = 12.68 mAcm(-2) and fill factor (FF) 0.59 under AM 1.5 G sunlight 
      (100 mWcm(-2)) which is higher than Zn2SnO4 nanoparticle (eta = 2.52%) based 
      perovskite solar cells. This improvement is achieved due to high porosity of 
      Zn2SnO4 nanofibers and high crystallinity of the nanofibers synthesized at 
      700  degrees C. These results are remarkably higher than reported perovskite solar cells 
      based on such type of ternary metal oxide ETLs.
