Abstract
The need to develop and deploy large-scale, cost-effective, renewable energy is becoming tremendously important in the last few decades. Nanostructured organic solar cells have the long-term potential to provide low cost, and high-efficiency renewable energy. In recent years, photovoltaic cells based on nanoparticles blended with semiconducting polymers have achieved good performance and distinguished power conversion efficiencies, greater than 17%. These structures include various sizes and shapes of metal nanoparticles. Intensive research is being done towards achieving organic solar cell efficiency of 20%. In this work, a detailed numerical simulation is done for a proposed nanostructured organic solar cell design. Different nanoparticle shapes and sizes are considered in the active layer (P3HT:PCBM) to obtain a highly efficient organic solar cell.
