Plasmonic nanocavity arrays for enhanced efficiency in organic photovoltaic cells

Plasmonic nanocavity arrays for enhanced efficiency in organic photovoltaic cells

Photovoltaic cells suffer an efficiency trade-off: thicker cells absorb more light, but the photo-generated excitons may recombine before dissociation, limiting the photo-current. With subwavelength confinement of the incident light, plasmonic nanocavities can overcome this limitation.
