“…The scattering capacities of nanoparticles are influenced by their geometry, particle distribution, composition, and their surroundings medium's refractive index [9,16,17,18,38,39,40]. Surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) resonance can be tuned by optimizing attributes, with drude metals like titanium, aluminium, copper, gold, chromium, and silver commonly used [19,20,21,22,23,35,36,37]. Metal nanoparticles are utilized in photonic absorption on photovoltaic cell front surfaces to minimize absorption loss.…”

This study investigates the effectiveness of plasmonic improvement on photonic absorber properties of capped SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticle in thin film a-Si photovoltaic cell. It also examines their J-V properties when exposed to sunlight. The modified Stober approach was used for irradiation tests, revealing lower reflectivity in different doses with SiO2 1st dose:0.485mg/ml, SiO2 2nd dose:0.693mg/ml, and TiO2 1st dose:0.525 mg/ml, TiO2 2nd dose:0.748 mg/ml solutions. Silica-based solar cells showed a 2.45% efficiency improvement, while titania-based solar cells improved efficiency by 0.657% compared with the uncoated sample.
