“…This highest peak occurs in frequency range of visible spectrum from 400 nm to 800 nm which give benefit to improve absorption and trapping the light in solar application. If compared to the result of Aluminium nanoparticle in [8], the maximum absorption rate is too low. Aluminium performed much better than gold with the same geometry.…”

A high quality solar cell depends on how good the design of the solar cell can absorb light. In this study, cylindrical gold nanoparticles were embedded into indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and silicon layer arranged in hexagonal geometry on plasmonic solar cell simulation design. The aim is to investigate the optical absorption percentage in terms of wavelength and angle of incidence for the solar cell design. The numerical results showed that the highest absorption has occurred in 480 nm in the range of visible spectrum. In this wavelength, the highest absorption occurred at the incidence angle of 48 degree.

As the world population rises, energy needs are become critical. Using photovoltaic technologies like amorphous silicon solar cells (aSiSC) to harvest solar power might benefit global concern. Previous research claimed that aSiSCs were modest short-wavelength absorbers. Quantum dot (QD) may be applied to the aSiSC to enhance optical absorptions and electric fields as the QD’s bandgap is tunable, which can cover a broader electromagnetic range. This study aims are to design the 3D aSiSC with QD on the model and to investigate the optical absorption peak, electric field profiles, and light-matter interaction of the models via COMSOL Multiphysics software. From the base model, the optical absorption improved from 736 nm at 41.827% to 46.005% at 642 nm for the aSiQDSC model which developed with 0.5/3.0 nm radius of core/shell cadmium selenide/zinc sulphide (CdSe/ZnS). This study proceeded combining rectangular nanosheets gold and silver nanoantenna (Au and Ag NA) with various gap g of NA to the aSiQDSC models where g = 0.5 nm Ag NA model was presented the higher optical absorption of 47.246% at 650 nm, and electric fields of 2.53×1010 V/nm. Computationally, this ultimate design is ecologically sound for solar cell applications, which allow future direction in renewable energy research and fabrication
