Plasmonic dye-sensitized solar cells using core-shell metal-insulator nanoparticles.
Nano Lett 11:2 (2011) 438-445
Abstract:
We present an investigation into incorporating core-shell Au-SiO(2) nanoparticles into dye-sensitized solar cells. We demonstrate plasmon-enhanced light absorption, photocurrent, and efficiency for both iodide/triiodide electrolyte based and solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Our spectroscopic investigation indicates that plasmon-enhanced photocarrier generation competes well with plasmons oscillation damping with in the first tens of femtoseconds following light absorption.Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Photovoltaic Diodes: Photoaction at the Heterojunction and Charge Collection Through Mesostructured Composites

Abstract:
We employ femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy on operating hybrid solid-state DSSC with P3HT as the hole transporter, to probe the effect of annealing on charge transfer dynamics and nanoscale morphology. © 2011 OSA.Facile infiltration of semiconducting polymer into mesoporous electrodes for hybrid solar cells
