Abstract
A high quality solar cell depends on how good the design of the solar cell can absorb light. In this study, cylindrical gold nanoparticles were embedded into indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and silicon layer arranged in hexagonal geometry on plasmonic solar cell simulation design. The aim is to investigate the optical absorption percentage in terms of wavelength and angle of incidence for the solar cell design. The numerical results showed that the highest absorption has occurred in 480 nm in the range of visible spectrum. In this wavelength, the highest absorption occurred at the incidence angle of 48 degree.
Highlights
Many solar applications arising in connection with plasmonic that use metal nanoparticles like gold and silver [1,2,3] is the result of the unique properties of surface plasmon [1]
Finite Element Method (FEM) was used in this work to analyses the absorption on plasmonic structure in hexagonal geometry of cylindrical nanoparticle gold
This paper has presented the absorption of light based on plasmonic gold nanoparticle in hexagonal geometry as function of wavelength and angle of incidence
Summary
Many solar applications arising in connection with plasmonic that use metal nanoparticles like gold and silver [1,2,3] is the result of the unique properties of surface plasmon [1]. These unique properties include manipulation and transport of light at nanometer scale due to their highly localized electromagnetic fields [4]. Nanoscale plasmonic structures are explored for performance improvement These structures used as a ways to guide and trap light for absorption and the overall performance in solar applications and optical properties [8]. Plasmonic structure in hexagonal geometry of cylindrical nanoparticle gold is modelled using COMSOL Multiphysics in electromagnetic wave propagation of frequency domain
