Abstract
Illuminating organic solar cell active materials with infrared light, ranging from 0.3 to 1.25 eV, has shown to be a potential way of enhancing solar cell efficiency due to
enhanced charge-transfer state recovery. This paper focuses on the fabrication and
application of plasmonic nanostructures in organic solar cells to give local field
enhancement within these wavelengths.
Aluminum gratings and nanorods are investigated to give local field enhancement at 0.58 eV to enhance charge-transfer state recovery and improve photovoltaic cell
performance. This work encompasses a first practical application combining plasmonics and sub-bandgap light to enhance charge-transfer state recovery.
