However, poor eciency is a major issue; they are in a positive direction of optimization. To optimize their performance, we should select the materials which can absorb more light radiation in visible and infrared regions. To this regard, the gold plasmonic enhancement shows a promise to improve the eciency of photovoltaics. Here, we report a solution process of depleted heterojunction PbS solar cells in the presence of gold nanoparticles. In our experiment, the solar cells show a better absorption and eciency in the presence of the Au nanoparticles. The fabricated solar cell in the addition of Au nanoparticles has the average efficiency of 4.15%, where as the solar cell without plasmons has the average effieciency of 4.00%. 2014-08-11 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1403022047 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1403022047 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
