Efficiency enhancement in thin-film silicon solar cells by plasmonic nanodiscs array

Efficiency enhancement in thin-film silicon solar cells by plasmonic nanodiscs array Abstract.Plasmonic nanoparticles are promising ways for the efficiency enhancement of thin-film solar cells. We have taken into account the bare silicon wafer and the embedded thin-film silicon solar cells with Au nanodiscs array. We study these geometries of thin-film silicon solar cells and find the effect of Au nanoparticles on light transmission and reflection spectrum, power absorption, generation rate, power electric, and short-circuit current density; and for this, we have used finite difference time domain, FDTD software. We also consider the near-field electric intensity in the vicinity of nanoparticles with different sizes, which are known as a solar cells efficiency enhancement mechanism. Our study can be useful for new perspectives for antireflection coating applications and light management in silicon solar cells. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Nanophotonics SPIE

Abstract

Abstract.Plasmonic nanoparticles are promising ways for the efficiency enhancement of thin-film solar cells. We have taken into account the bare silicon wafer and the embedded thin-film silicon solar cells with Au nanodiscs array. We study these geometries of thin-film silicon solar cells and find the effect of Au nanoparticles on light transmission and reflection spectrum, power absorption, generation rate, power electric, and short-circuit current density; and for this, we have used finite difference time domain, FDTD software. We also consider the near-field electric intensity in the vicinity of nanoparticles with different sizes, which are known as a solar cells efficiency enhancement mechanism. Our study can be useful for new perspectives for antireflection coating applications and light management in silicon solar cells.
