Enhanced efficiency of solution-processed small-molecule solar cells upon incorporation of gold nanospheres and nanorods into organic layers

The significantly enhanced performance by incorporation of Au nanoparticles in solution-processed small-molecule solar cells is demonstrated. Simultaneously incorporating Au nanospheres into the hole transport layer and Au-silica nanorods into the active layer achieves superior broadband absorption...

Description
Summary:The significantly enhanced performance by incorporation of Au nanoparticles in solution-processed small-molecule solar cells is demonstrated. Simultaneously incorporating Au nanospheres into the hole transport layer and Au-silica nanorods into the active layer achieves superior broadband absorption improvement in the device with a power conversion efficiency of 8.72% with 31% enhancement.
