“…Also indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) is possible [ 29 ]. An additional incorporation of metal nanoparticles such as gold or silver showed efficiency enhancement of polymeric solar cells, mainly ascribed to improved photocurrent density resulting from an excited localized surface plasmon resonance [ 309 , 310 , 311 ]. For the outer layer, properties like barrier and/or self-cleaning nanoparticles are developed not specifically for OPV but for solar cells in general.…”

For the last decades, nanocomposites materials have been widely studied in the scientific literature as they provide substantial properties enhancements, even at low nanoparticles content. Their performance depends on a number of parameters but the nanoparticles dispersion and distribution state remains the key challenge in order to obtain the full nanocomposites’ potential in terms of, e.g., flame retardance, mechanical, barrier and thermal properties, etc., that would allow extending their use in the industry. While the amount of existing research and indeed review papers regarding the formulation of nanocomposites is already significant, after listing the most common applications, this review focuses more in-depth on the properties and materials of relevance in three target sectors: packaging, solar energy and automotive. In terms of advances in the processing of nanocomposites, this review discusses various enhancement technologies such as the use of ultrasounds for in-process nanoparticles dispersion. In the case of nanocoatings, it describes the different conventionally used processes as well as nanoparticles deposition by electro-hydrodynamic processing. All in all, this review gives the basics both in terms of composition and of processing aspects to reach optimal properties for using nanocomposites in the selected applications. As an outlook, up-to-date nanosafety issues are discussed.

“…For example, Tang et al [155] analyzed the performances of Poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/c-Si heterojunction solar cells with and without Au NPs incorporation into the PEDOT:PSS layer. Notably, they observed (Figures 31 and 32) that a maximum conversion efficiency of 10.28% is presented by the devices presenting 10 to 15% Au NP incorporation.…”

Abstract:In this review, we discuss the basic concepts related to (co-)evaporation and (co)sputtering based fabrication methods and the electrical properties of polymer-metal nanocomposite films. Within the organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites research framework, the field related to metal-polymer nanocomposites is attracting much interest. In fact, it is opening pathways for engineering flexible composites that exhibit advantageous electrical, optical, or mechanical properties. The metal-polymer nanocomposites research field is, now, a wide, complex, and important part of the nanotechnology revolution. So, with this review we aim, starting from the discussion of specific cases, to focus our attention on the basic microscopic mechanisms and processes and the general concepts suitable for the interpretation of material properties and structure-property correlations. The review aims, in addition, to provide a comprehensive schematization of the main technological applications currently in development worldwide.

“…The localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) effect of metallic NPs can enhance the device light absorption by either surrounding electromagnetic fields of NPs or longer propagation path brought by light scattering . However, only a handful reports on Si/organic solar cells with the application of metallic NPs . The effect of NPs on the performance of Si/organic solar cells, such as optical and electrical properties, still need to be explored in depth.…”

Effective light trapping induced by a dual localized plasmonic effect of Au and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) is adopted in poly‐(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) hybrid solar cells. Superior performance on light absorption is obtained after incorporating mixed Au and Ag NPs incorporating into PEDOT:PSS layer. Compared to devices with single NPs that only shows very limited plasmonic enhancement, dual NPs doped devices benefit from the dual plasmonic enhancement in visible light region. Therefore, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.98 % has been achieved, which is about 18% higher than that of with the pristine one, exhibiting a PCE of 9.72%. The PCE enhancement is largely ascribed to the short‐circuit current (JSC) enhancement, which can be observed through the external quantum efficiency (EQE) curves. In addition, transient photovoltage (TPV) results show that the charge carrier lifetime is improved by the incorporation of dual nanoparticles, indicating a suppressed charge recombination during the physical process in the devices.
