AB - Several approaches have been adopted in the past for increasing the light absorption in photovoltaic solar cells. The introduction of a plasmonic layer of Ib metal nanoparticles (pure or embedded in a dielectric layer) has been recognized as a viable alternate approach for enhancing light absorption. The scattering from metal nanoparticles near their localized plasmon resonance seemed to be a promising way of increasing the light absorption in thin-film solar cells. Enhancements in photo current have been observed for a wide range of semiconductors and solar cell configurations. In this short note, a review of the experimental and theoretical progress that has been made in recent years, the basic mechanisms, and an outlook on future prospects in this area is presented. Introduction Currently, there are three different generations of solar cells. A number of methods [1-3] have been adopted in the past The first generation (those in the market today) are made with for increasing the light absorption in photovoltaic solar cells. crystalline semiconductor wafers, typically silicon. Current solar But, acceptance of the above methods became debatable in the cells trap light by creating pyramids on the surface which have context of optimizing cost and ease of their adaptation
