Optical absorption enhancement in solar cell employing plasmonic nanowire as the core of C-Si nanowire

We propose a simple plasmonic nanostructure based nanowire crystalline Silicon solar cell by integrating silver core with nanowire. We found 63% better ultimate efficiency compared to conventional nanowire structures for fixedfilling ratio and length.
