Abstract:
Enhancement of the electromagnetic properties of metallic nanostructures constitute an extensive research field related to plasmonics. The latter term is derived from plasmons, which are quanta corresponding to longitudinal waves that are propagating in matter by the collective motion of electrons. Plasmonics are increasingly finding wide application in sensing, microscopy, optical communications, biophotonics, and light trapping enhancement for solar energy conversion. Although the plasmonics field has relatively a short history of development, it has led to substantial advancement in enhanci

Metallic nanoparticles are frequently applied to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic cells via the plasmonic effect, and they play this role due to the unusual ability of plasmons to transmit energy.

Upon light excitation, metallic nanostructures sustain the collective oscillation of surface electrons, i.e. surface plasmons, producing local field enhancement and after one hundred femtoseconds decaying by generating a non-thermal distribution of hot carriers. Their consequent thermalization results in intense local heating of the nanostructures and their surrounding. All these effects can alter the reaction pathways and boost the reaction kinetics.

Abstract:
We introduced Au@Ag core–shell nanocuboids with broadband plasmonic enhancement in organic photovoltaics, which show multimode localized surface plasmon resonance that can be tuned to match the light absorption spectra of the devices by changing the geometric size.

Abstract:
We report plasmon enhanced absorption in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) over a broad wavelength range. 45% enhancement in the power conversion efficiency is observed with the inclusion of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (NPs). Photocurrent spectra show enhancement over the entire dye absorption range from 450 nm to 700 nm, as well as in the near infrared (NIR) region above 700 nm due to the strong plasmon-induced electric fields produced by the gold NPs. The plasmon-induced electric field distribution of the island-like gold film is also investigated using finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD)

Abstract:
Nanopillars (NPs) are submicron-sized pillars composed of dielectrics, semiconductors, or metals. They have been employed to develop advanced optical components such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and biophotonic devices. To integrate localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) with NPs, plasmonic NPs consisting of dielectric nanoscale pillars with metal capping have been developed and used for plasmonic optical sensing and imaging applications. In this study, we studied plasmonic NPs in terms of their fabrication techniques and applications in biophotonics. We briefly described three m

Abstract:
Recently, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have been extensively studied due to their promising optical properties with relatively low-cost and simple processing. However, the perovskite solar cells have some low optical absorption in the visible spectrum, especially around the red region. In this paper, an improvement of perovskite solar cell efficiency is studied via simulations through adding plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) at the rear side of the solar cell. The plasmonic resonance wavelength is selected to be very close to the spectrum range of lower absorption of the perovskite: around

Abstract:
We demonstrate experimentally the enhanced performance of the plasmonic silicon solar cell by using a nano-sized indium-particles and different thickness of TiO2 space layer structure. The optical reflectance, dark and photo current-voltage, and external quantum efficiency are measured and compared at each stages of processing. The conversion efficiencies enhancing of 17.78%, 27.5% and of 47.85% are obtained as the solar cell with indium nanoparticles on a 10-nm, a 30-nm and a 59.5-nm thick TiO2 space layer, respectively, compared to the solar cell without coated a TiO2 layer.
