Examining the performance of ZrN plasmonic nanostructures in organic solar cells

摘要: Organic solar cells (OSC) offer a promising alternative to achieve highly efficient with low cost and easy fabrication. However, light absorption efficiency in OSC is limited due the carrier diffusion length exciton mobility. Plasmonic nanostructures have ability localize organic active layer thus increasing path without its physical thickness. Here, we exploited new type of plasmonic high broadband enhancement cells. Zirconium Nitride (ZrN), as an example refractory plasmonics, has one highest localized surface plasmon resonance quality factor. In this work, several ZrN such spherical nanoshells nanodisks are incorporated A theoretical analysis using finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations implemented thoroughly analyze compare these structures. Mie scattering efficiencies calculated polymer environment. achieved after their incorporation cell.
