Light absorption by photovoltaic (PV) devices is shown to improve with the use of plasmonic silver nanoparticles (100 nm size) added to the active layer of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCs). The electrolyte containing 2 wt. silver nanoparticles exhibits the highest conductivity of 1.27 × 10−2 S cm−1...
