DOI: 10.1021/acsaem.9b00039
Abstract: Plasmonic nanoparticles were once sought to harness enormous potential for light-trapping in inorganic thin-film photovoltaics. However, the incorporation of such metallic nanostructures near solar cell absorbing layers without inducing overall harm to performance has proven… read more here.
