Novel semi-analytical optoelectronic modeling based on homogenization theory for realistic plasmonic polymer solar cells

Abstract: Numerical-based simulations of plasmonic polymer solar cells (PSCs) incorporating a disordered array of non-uniform sized plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) impose a prohibitively long-time and complex computational demand. To surmount this limitation, we present a novel semi-analytical modeling, which dramatically reduces computational time and resource consumption and yet is acceptably accurate. For this purpose, the optical modeling of active layer-incorporated plasmonic metal NPs, which is described by a homoge… Show more

“…To achieve this, the mean-field homogenization (MFH) method is employed to standardize the mechanical behavior of PSSCs. MFH provides a systematic approach to evaluate material responses by averaging the effects of microstructural features such as grain orientation and size within PSSCs [30,31]. This methodology facilitates the translation of complex microstructural behaviors into effective macroscopic properties.…”

“…The popular theoretical models for OSCs are the driftdiffusion model developed by Koster et al 2,3 and its various improvements. 28,29,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] However, most of these studies 16,28,29,[32][33][34] adopted the uniform-electric-field approximation (UEFA) and treated the mobility as a constant independent of the density of states (DOS), electric field and carrier density, and some studies 16,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] adopted the Boltzmann statistics and ignored the degeneracy effect. Because some important physical factors are ignored, these models are merely applicable to low-efficiency OSCs.…”

“…Overcoming these problems by adding noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) with different morphologies and sizes into different layers or different positions into active layer, ETL or HTL with different three mechanisms localized surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR), light scattering, surface Plasmon polariton(s), SPP(s) to investigate harvesting light and photon management ( [14], [15]). The most metal NPs used in BHJ for plasmonic enhancement are silver(Ag) and gold(Au).…”
