Abstract

See full text

A thin film organic photovoltaic device or solar cell in one embodiment includes an organic active bilayer and an ultrathin two-dimensional metallic nanogrid as a transparent conducting electrode which receives incident light. The nanogrid excites surface plasmonic resonances at an interface between the nanogrid and active bilayer from the incident light to enhance photon absorption in the active bilayer below the nanogrid. In another embodiment, spatially separated nanograting electrodes may alternatively be formed by double one-dimensional nanogratings disposed on opposite sides of the organic active bilayer. The spatially separated nanogratings may be oriented perpendicular to each other.
