Preparation and Properties of Ag Nanofilms for Organic Solar Cells

Abstract:

nanoAg island thin films with different thickness have been prepared by vacuum vapor deposition method on ITO substrates for organic solar cells. UV-Vis absorption spectrum and surface morphology have been studied by UV-Vis scanning spectrophotometer and SEM. The influence of different thickness nanoAg has also been discussed. The results show that, when the nanoAg thickness is 3.0 nm, the surface plasmon response is most obvious, the resonance absorption peak appears red-shift, the surface plasmon response could enhance optical absorption, photocurrent, fill factor and power conversion efficiency obviously. The research results provide theoretical guidance to optimize the design and increase the performance of solar cells.
