“…In such a design, sunlight passes through ITO and ZnO to the photoactive absorbing layer. According to previous studies [ 14 , 24 , 34 ], to achieve the most optimum interaction of the incident light with resonant NPs and further its conversion to electricity, they are usually placed before the absorbing layer. Therefore, it was reasonable to consider two different positions of the layer with Si NPs: (i) above ITO or (ii) above ZnO layers, as shown schematically in Figure 1 d. A typical cross-sectional SEM image of the obtained device with Si NP is shown in Figure 1 e, which demonstrates the modified local morphology of the device.…”

“…As a result, the excited surface plasmons increase the absorption in a photo-active layer, thus enhancing light harvesting in a solar cell [ 14 , 15 ]. Incorporation of metal nanostructures has been applied to various PV technologies, such as dye-sensitized solar cells [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], silicon solar cells [ 19 , 20 ], organic photovoltaic cells [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], and perovskite solar cells [ 24 ]. In contrast to metallic NPs, all-dielectric nanophotonics based on silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) with Mie resonances in visible and infrared ranges recently emerged as a powerful tool for various optical applications [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

Silicon nanophotonics has become a versatile platform for optics and optoelectronics. For example, strong light localization at the nanoscale and lack of parasitic losses in infrared and visible spectral ranges make resonant silicon nanoparticles a prospect for improvement in such rapidly developing fields as photovoltaics. Here, we employed optically resonant silicon nanoparticles produced by laser ablation for boosting the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells. Namely, we created colloidal solutions of spherical nanoparticles with a range of diameters (80–240 nm) in different solvents. We tested how the nanoparticles’ position in the device, their concentration, silicon doping, and method of deposition affected the final device efficiency. The best conditions optimization resulted in an efficiency improvement from 6% up to 7.5%, which correlated with numerical simulations of nanoparticles’ optical properties. The developed low-cost approach paves the way toward highly efficient and stable solution-processable solar cells.

“…The proposed technology, which is based on laser ablation in liquid (LAL), paves the way for the inkjet printing of large-scale polymer patterns with stable colors on arbitrary surfaces or even optoelectronic devices [ 18 , 19 ], and we believe that this approach is promising for industrial applications when all parameters of LAL are optimized for a particular task. For example, the productivity of the LAL method is one of the most important factors for a wide practical application.…”

Optically resonant silicon nanoparticles have emerged as a prospective platform for the structural coloration of surfaces because of their strong and spectrally selective light scattering. In this work, we developed colorful inks based on polymer mixed with monodisperse Mie-resonant silicon nanoparticles for 3D and inkjet printing. We applied a laser ablation method in a flow cell for the mass production of silicon nanoparticles in water and separated the resulting nanoparticles with different sizes by density-gradient centrifugation. Mixing the colorful nanoparticles with the polymer allows for the printing of 3D objects with various shapes and colors, which are rigid against environmental conditions.

“…One of the strategies to improve PCE is to take advantage of integrating nanostructures and low-dimensional materials into PSC . One of the first reported approaches was proposed by Zhang et al, where plasmonic Au@SiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) in PSC mesoporous electron transport layer (ETL) were employed, thereby enhancing incident light absorption at perovskite material band edges.…”

GaP-based nanomaterials is a powerful tool for modern optoelectronic device fabrication owing to their excellent electrophysical properties, low optical losses, light localization, and optimal thermal conductivity. In our work, we incorporate GaP nanowires into perovskite solar cells to improve charge extraction from a perovskite layer without changing a total solar cell thickness. As a result, we improve the MAPbI3 perovskite solar cell efficiency up to 18.8% by V OC and J SC enhancement. The provided multiphysical theoretical simulations of the solar cells with the incorporated GaP nanowires describe the mechanism of charge extraction and optical absorption improvement. The developed method can be employed in various thin-film solar cells with different compositions of active material, as well as in other optoelectronic devices.
