제목 Enhanced optical and electrical effects by metallic nanostructures in thin-film solar cells
초록 In this talk, we propose a metal-metal core-shell nanocube (NC) as an advanced plasmonic material for highly efficient OSCs, which shows strong scattering efficiency throughout the visible range. Highly efficient plasmonic organic solar cells are fabricated by incorporating Au@Ag NCs into an anodic buffer layer [1, 2]. Next, we demonstrate that the metal nanoparticles can improve the performance of OSCs by enhancing the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the devices even without a notable plasmonic optical gain [3]. A hybrid layer platform in combination of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and polyethylenimine-ethoxylated (PEIE) layer maximizes the IQE of the OSCs to nearly 100 %. The AgNPs provide the short path and funnel charge carriers to a cathode, which would effectively raise the carrier mobility. Lastly, we utilize Au@Ag core-shell nanocubes (NCs) by embedding them in a low temperature-processed anatase TiO2 layer to form a resonance-shifting hybrid n-layer (Au@Ag NCs-HL) for efficient PbS-based solar cells [4]. The Au@Ag NCs-HL broadly improves the absorption of the device by the near-infrared plasmonic scattering effect.
