Enhancement in Optical Absorption of Plasmonic Solar Cells
Use of surface plasmons in photovoltaics is a recent and fast emerging field of interest of research that exploit the unique optical properties of metallic nano-structures. Using surface plasmons for guiding and localizing light at nanoscales can be used to improve optical absorption in thin-film solar cells. The present work focuses on the study of absorption enhancement using a periodic array...
متن کاملLarge integrated absorption enhancement in plasmonic solar cells by combining metallic gratings and antireflection coatings.
We describe an ultrathin solar cell architecture that combines the benefits of both plasmonic photovoltaics and traditional antireflection coatings. Spatially resolved electron generation rates are used to determine the total integrated current improvement under AM1.5G solar illumination, which can reach a factor of 1.8. The frequency-dependent absorption is found to strongly correlate with the...
متن کاملComparing plasmonic and dielectric gratings for absorption enhancement in thin-film organic solar cells.
We theoretically investigate and compare the influence of square silver gratings and one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) based nanostructures on the light absorption of organic solar cells with a thin active layer. We show that, by integrating the grating inside the active layer, excited localized surface plasmon modes may cause strong field enhancement at the interface between the grating...
متن کاملEnhancement of Perovskite Solar Cells by Plasmonic Nanoparticles
Synthetic perovskites with photovoltaic properties open a new era in solar photovoltaics. Due to high optical absorption perovskite-based thin-film solar cells are usually considered as fully absorbing solar radiation on condition of ideal blooming. However, it is not really so. The analysis of the literature data has shown that the absorbance of all photovoltaic pervoskites has the spectral ho...
متن کاملPlasmonic Absorption Enhancement in Elliptical Graphene Arrays
In this paper, we come up with a wavelength tunable absorber which is made up of periodically elliptical graphene arrays in the far-infrared and terahertz regions. Through simulation, we find that we can increase the length of long axis of the ellipse, raise the incidence angles of TM- and TE-polarization (TM- and TE-polarization indicate the direction of the incident electric field along the d...
