Plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have recently been identified as a breakthrough
route for enhancing the efficiency of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. The present review …

Recent advances in molecular organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have shown 10% power
conversion efficiency (PCE) for single‐junction cells, which put them in direct competition …

Two of the recent major research topics in optoelectronic devices are discussed: the
development of new organic materials (both molecular and polymeric) for the active layer of …

A major issue in organic solar cells is the poor mobility and recombination of the
photogenerated charge carriers. The active layer has to be kept thin to facilitate charge …

Tetrahedral nanopyramids made of silver and gold over ITO/glass surfaces are fabricated.
Our protocol is based on nanosphere lithography (NSL) with the deposition of thicker metal …

We have investigated the effects of a directly patterned active layer together with silver
nanograting arrays as the anode of inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs). The patterned …

We review nano-structures used as light trapping schemes in organic photovoltaic (OPV)
cells. Light management via nano-structures enables one to exploit sub-diffraction limit …

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to make a significant contribution to the
increasing energy needs of the future. In this book, 15 chapters written by selected experts …

We numerically study complex dual-interface grating systems to enhance absorption
efficiency in thin-film silicon solar cells. We combine a plasmonic grating at the back side of …

We theoretically investigate and compare the influence of square silver gratings and one-
dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) based nanostructures on the light absorption of …
