The energy conversion efficiency of solar cells can be enhanced significantly due to the effect of coupling the solar cells with plasmonic nanostructures. However, while the advantage of using plasmonic nanostructures has already been established, the physical parameters of the structures at which the efficiency is optimized has not yet been thoroughly analyzed. Of all the possible parameters, this...
The use of plasmonic nanostructures in enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells has been of great interest in recent times. While much of this interest has resulted in research for analyzing the metals that are most suitable for the plasmonic nanostructures, little attention has been given to optimizing the physical parameters of the nanostructures. The nanostructures that are of...
Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cell technology has been of keen interest over the last decade or so due to its lower cost of production, wide applicability and lower diffusion length for minority carriers. However, the conversion efficiencies of thin-film PV cells is much lower than that of conventional crystalline Si PV cells. Nanostructures have therefore been designed and implemented with such cells...
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are important devices that can be used to convert photons into electrical energy. However, the cost of current PV devices needs to be significantly reduced and their efficiencies need to be substantially enhanced to enable large scale implementation of PV cells as sources of clean electrical energy. Surface plasmon polaritrons (SPP) in metallic nanostructures in close proximity...
