Abstract
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved exceptional light-to-power conversion efficiencies, yet their optical losses, particularly in the near-infrared, still limit full photovoltaic potential. The integration of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) has emerged as an effective light-management strategy to overcome these limitations by enhancing optical absorption and tailoring charge-carrier dynamics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of analytical and numerical studies focused on plasmonic-enhanced PSCs, including the underlying enhancement mechanisms. The influence of NP material, geometry, size, spatial distribution, and embedding layer on device performance is systematically discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future perspectives in bridging theoretical predictions with experimental realization are highlighted, outlining guidelines for the rational optical design of next-generation plasmonic PSCs.

期刊介绍:
Solar RRL, formerly known as Rapid Research Letters, has evolved to embrace a broader and more encompassing format. We publish Research Articles and Reviews covering all facets of solar energy conversion. This includes, but is not limited to, photovoltaics and solar cells (both established and emerging systems), as well as the development, characterization, and optimization of materials and devices. Additionally, we cover topics such as photovoltaic modules and systems, their installation and deployment, photocatalysis, solar fuels, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion, energy distribution, grid issues, and other relevant aspects. Join us in exploring the latest advancements in solar energy conversion research.
