Abstract
This report provides a method to estimate how much the photocurrents can be increased by adding gold nanoparticles in P3HT:PCBM films, without having to carry out the complex process of fabricate a whole cell. The tuning effect of varying the gold nanoparticle concentration on optical properties of these films was analyzed by measuring optical absorption. To estimate the contribution of the optical absorption variation, theoretical photocurrents generated for these films as active layers were calculated using a photonic flux density equation. With this methodology, it is possible to estimate the amount of energy that can be harvest with a given gold nanoparticle concentration. Improvements up to 26% were obtained compared with films without added gold nanoparticles.
期刊介绍：
Gold Bulletin is the premier international peer reviewed journal on the latest science, technology and applications of gold. It includes papers on the latest research advances, state-of-the-art reviews, conference reports, book reviews and highlights of patents and scientific literature. Gold Bulletin does not publish manuscripts covering the snthesis of Gold nanoparticles in the presence of plant extracts or other nature-derived extracts. Gold Bulletin has been published over 40 years as a multidisciplinary journal read by chemists, physicists, engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, biotechnologists, surface scientists, and nanotechnologists amongst others, both within industry and academia. Gold Bulletin is published in Association with the World Gold Council.
