Silver nanoparticles can be used as light scattering elements for enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells. The present work provides a joint experimental/computational contribution in this respect by considering the application of silver plasmonic structures to silicon solar cells. We present simulations of the optical properties of plasmonic structures together with results on the production and characterization of silver nanoparticles on Si solar cells.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles can be used as light scattering elements for enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells. The present work provides a joint experimental/computational contribution in this respect by considering the application of silver plasmonic structures to silicon solar cells. We present simulations of the optical properties of plasmonic structures together with results on the production and characterization of silver nanoparticles on Si solar cells.File in questo prodotto:
