“…The enhanced absorption results arose from both the plasmonic near-field and scattering effects. Pathak et al calculated the optical cross-section of arbitrarily sized and spherical-shaped metal NPs with perovskite by Mie scattering theory 80 . They found that NPs with a radius of 15 nm and volume concentration of approximately 10% achieved the highest scattering efficiency.…”

The field of plasmonics explores the interaction between light and metallic micro/nanostructures and films. The collective oscillation of free electrons on metallic surfaces enables subwavelength optical confinement and enhanced light–matter interactions. In optoelectronics, perovskite materials are particularly attractive due to their excellent absorption, emission, and carrier transport properties, which lead to the improved performance of solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, photodetectors, and sensors. When perovskite materials are coupled with plasmonic structures, the device performance significantly improves owing to strong near-field and far-field optical enhancements, as well as the plasmoelectric effect. Here, we review recent theoretical and experimental works on plasmonic perovskite solar cells, light emitters, and sensors. The underlying physical mechanisms, design routes, device performances, and optimization strategies are summarized. This review also lays out challenges and future directions for the plasmonic perovskite research field toward next-generation optoelectronic technologies.

This chapter furnishes the plasmonic properties of metal nanostructure and its application to thin-film solar cell. Plasmonics is an emerging branch of nanooptics where light metal interaction in subwavelength domain is studied. Metal supports surface plasmon resonance that has tunable signature, which depends on the morphology as well as surrounding media. These plasmonic resonances can be tuned in a broader range of solar spectra by changing several parameters such as size, shape and medium. Moreover, metals show scattering properties that could be utilized to enhance optical path length of photon inside the thin film of solar device. The chapter mainly focusses on the study of plasmonic resonance of smaller-and larger-sized metal nanoparticle using semi-analytical as well as numerical approach. For the estimation of optical properties like extinction spectrum and field profile of larger-sized nanoparticle, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used. The field distribution in both silver and gold nanoparticle cases has been plotted in 'on' resonance condition, which has a broader range of applications.

“…More specifically, both N.K. Pathak et al [18] and Roopak et al [19] explored Mie theory [20] and showed that silver, gold and aluminum nanoparticles, embedded inside a perovskite matrix, support plasmonic resonances of high magnitude with tunable resonance frequency and width by varying the size, shape or material. These results are very promising since plasmonic nanoparticles can induce light incoupling to the perovskite near its band edge (~650-800 nm) where it shows inferior photo response due to lower absorption in conjunction with increased reflection from the perovskite at that regime [6], [7].…”

Solution-processed, lead halide-based perovskite solar cells have overcome important challenges over the recent years, offering low-cost and high solar power conversion efficiencies. However, they still undergo unoptimized light collection due mainly to the thin (~350 nm) polycrystalline absorber layers. Moreover, their high toxicity (due to the presence of lead in the perovskite crystalline structure) makes it necessary that the thickness of the absorber layers to be further reduced, for their future commercialization, without reducing the device performance. Here we aim to address these issues via embedding spherical plasmonic nanoparticles of various sizes, composition, concentrations, and vertical positions, for the first time in realistic halide-based perovskite solar cells architecture, and to clarify their effect on the absorption properties and enhancement. We theoretically show that plasmon-enhanced near-field effects and scattering leads to a device photocurrent enhancement of up to ~7.3% when silver spheres are embedded inside the perovskite layer. Interestingly, the combination of silver spheres in perovskite and aluminum spheres inside the hole transporting layer (PEDOT:PSS) of the solar cell leads to an even further enhancement, of up to ~12%. This approach allows the employment of much thinner perovskite layers in PSCs (up to 150 nm) to reach the same photocurrent as the nanoparticles-free device and reducing thus significantly the toxicity of the device. Providing the requirements related to the size, shape, position, composition, and concentration of nanoparticles for the PSCs photocurrent enhancement, our study establishes guidelines for a future development of highly-efficient, environmentally friendly and low-cost plasmonic perovskite solar cells.
