Abstract

The exciton dissociation in excitonic solar cells (XSCs) is controlled by interface, where the generated eletrons on one side and holes produced on the other side. In this device configuration, the interfacial characteristics are crucial for the operation, while the bulk property is less critical. Due to the unique characteristics of materials and operation mechanism, the fabrication of XSCs allows low-cost, large-scale solution processing, and the utilization of various printing techniques, instead of high-cost vacuum deposition and purification process applied in the fabrication of conventional p–n junction solar cells. To date, power conversion efficiencies exceeding 10 % have been achieved in some XSCs at lab scale. For the practical applications, the energy conversion efficiencies are required to be further improved, especially at module scale. In this chapter, we pay special attention to the recent development in the application of metal (e.g., Au and Ag) nanoparticles to increase the light utilization in XSCs for high photovoltaic conversion efficiency. This type of light trapping, on the ground of localized surface plasmon resonance and propagating surface plasmon polariton, provides an alternative approach to the development of new light absorbing materials to span the strong spectral response over broader ranges. The methodologies and enhancement mechanisms regarding a series of typical device architectures will be discussed.
