Titanium nitride based plasmonic nanoparticles for photovoltaic application

The plasmonic light trapping mechanism is an excellent way of improving solar cell efficiency. In this paper, our primary goal was to design and assess nanosystems using TiN as alternative material for photovoltaic application through theoretical simulations. To establish TiN’s functionality a material, we conducted comparative analysis with noble metals, Ag Au. We demonstrated, utilizing TiN-based nanostructures, that the fraction scatter into substrate can be tuned by varying shape, size, thickness, dielectric source angle. Moreover, total scattering in wavelength range spectrum modulated. performance improved thicker layer. Among bowtie shape showed better absorption cross-section. nanostructures enhanced path length maximum cross-section 4.58 Wm −2 bowtie-shaped nanoplate on 30 nm Si 3 N 4 . efficiency obtained nanostructure ∼ 30%. enhancement achieved visible infrared regions.
