Broadband Absorption and Efficient Hot-Carrier Photovoltaic Conversion based on Sunlight-induced Non-radiative Decay of Propagating Surface Plasmon Polaritons
Abstract Localized surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which can decay non-radiatively into hot carriers, have been widely employed to extend the responses of traditional semiconductor-based photocatalytic and photovoltaic devices to sub-bandgap photons. However, radiative decay is unavoidable and ad...
