Plasmonic Nanoparticles Prevent Poor Photovoltaic Performance

Efficiency deterioration is a significant problem associated with cadmium sulfide/tin monosulfide (CdS/SnS) solar cells, hindering their practical applications. A pre-proof paper from the Journal of Alloys and Compounds addresses this problem by manipulating the photovoltaic properties of a CdS/SnS solar cell using the plasmonic effect of silver and gold nanoparticles.
