Plasmonics in nanostructured organic solar cells — •Thomas Pfadler1, Ricky Dunbar1, and Lukas Schmidt-Mende2 — 1LMU Munich — 2University of Konstanz
Organic solar cells have the potential to become an important low-cost alternative to conventional solar cells. However, before this can happen, the energy harvesting potential of organic solar cells must become more comparable with that of the pervading technology. This research is based upon the construction of organic solar cells that demonstrate highly favourable light-plasmonic coupling at a nanostructured silver electrode. These nanostructured silver electrodes are prepared via nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and optimised to improve the light harvesting and efficiency of organic thin-film solar cells. Given appropriate control of loss mechanisms such as interfacial recombination, the absorption enhancement will correspond to an increase in the solar cell efficiency.
