An Efficient Plasmonic Back Reflector for Thin-film Silicon Solar Cell Application

A plasmonic back reflector based on gold nanoparticles were numerically investigated for thin-film solar cell application. A cluster of 21 gold nanoparticles was placed at the bottom layer of the cell with the objective to enhance the absorption of incident solar radiations. Different parameters of the proposed design are changed due to which maximum absorption is obtained. Furthermore, the influence of shape and material are also varied, which also affect and enhance the absorption characteristics of the solar cell.
