Surface-passivated plasmonic nano-pyramids for bulk heterojunction solar cell photocurrent enhancement

Abstract

We report that self-assembled gold (Au) nanopyramid arrays can greatly enhance the photocurrent of narrow bandgap organic solar cells using their plasmonic near-field effect. The plasmonic enhanced power conversion efficiency exhibited up to 200% increase under the AM 1.5 solar illumination.
