Performance improvement of dye-sensitized solar cells with Ag nanoparticles

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...
