dc.description.abstractThe monodisperse Au (similar to 5 nm) and Ag (similar to 3 nm) nanoparticles used in this study were obtained using surfactant-assistant solvothermal methods and characterized by XRD TEM and SEM. Then, these nanoparticles were embedded into the P3HT:PCBM photoactive layer at different ratios and the effects of the nanoparticles on the performance of the organic solar cells have been studied by varying the loading percent of the NPs in the range of 0.5-2 wt%. The best solar cell composition was determined to be 1 wt% for Au NPs and 0.5 wt% for Ag NPs. Optical absorption spectrum of P3HT:PCBM, P3HT:PCBM:AuNPs and P3HT:PCBM:AgNPs active layers were obtained using UV-visible spectroscopy. The J-V plots of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/LiF/Al solar cells having 1.10(-6) m(2) OSC area and with different Au NPs and Ag NPs loading ratios in the P3HT:PCBM were obtained under air mass (AM) 1.5G illumination. Open circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, fill factor, and power conversion efficiency of the OSC were calculated. The highest PCE values were obtained as 3.35% for Au NPs and as 3.50% for Ag NPs doped devices. This increase in PCEs was explained by a plasmonic effect that stems from the metallic NPs.en_US
