Plasmonic Effects in Organic Solar Cells (1) organic solar cell monocrystalline silicon solar cellamorphous/polycrystalline silicon solar cell Advance of solar cell technology

Plasmonic Effects in Organic Solar Cells (2) Thin-film organic solar cell low-cost processing mechanically flexible large-area application environmentally friendly Хlow exciton diffusion length Хlow carrier mobility

Plasmonic Effects in Organic Solar Cells (3) optical absorption exciton diffusion charge separation charge collection Working principle

Plasmonic Effects in Organic Solar Cells (4) Why optical enhancement? The thickness of the active layer must be smaller than the exciton diffusion length to avoid bulk recombination.
