Abstract
A series of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells incorporating silver nanoparticles was fabricated and evaluated. Silver nanoparticles were incorporated in the hole-transport layer of the solar cells. Plasmonic absorption and the generation of localized surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles were confirmed by absorption and surface enhanced Raman scattering spectra even in the hole-transport material. The incorporation of silver nanoparticles increased photoelectric conversion efficiencies, whose enhancement properties were varied by the incorporation amount of silver nanoparticles.
