Various light-trapping strategies have been proposed to improve the low optical absorption in thin-film organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells which results in low power conversion efficiencies. One such method involves incorporating plasmonic metal nanoparticles (MNPs) into OPV cells. However, the underl...
