Abstract
Semiconductor organic solar absorber exhibits poor charge transport process because of exciton short diffusion length, short life time, and poor carrier mobilities in the medium. Such transport properties have negatively impacted the performance of organic solar cells (OSC). This article is designed to investigate the effect of solar absorber thickness and metal plasmonic nanoparticles using the most popular polymer blend (P3HT:PCBM) via SCAPS device simulation program. Bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) design of OSC has partially addressed the challenges by increasing inter-facial area of the acceptor/donor (A/D) molecules, which boosts the generation of free charges. However, the collection of these charges hindered due to low carrier mobilities in polymer medium. Significant influence of the Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been observed on the performance of OSC at various concentrations. Thus, we are reporting here the effect of absorber layer thickness and ZnS NPs on the charge transport process in OSC.
