Composite Metallic Solar Cells

摘要

A composite photovoltaic cell comprised of a substrate overlaid with metallic nanoparticles sensitized with quantum dots. Using flexible or rigid substrates in conjunction with metallic nanoparticles and quantum dots a highly efficient photovoltaic cell can be formed by using localized surface plasmon resonance. The localized surface plasmon resonance of the metallic nanoparticles enhances the absorption of photons and is further sensitized by quantum dots.
