A plasmonic liquid junction photovoltaic cell with greatly improved power conversion efficiency†
Abstract
A plasmonic liquid junction photovoltaic cell with greatly improved power conversion efficiency is described. When illuminated with simulated sunlight, the device (Au–TiO2/V3+(0.018 M), V2+(0.182 M)/Pt) reproducibly and sustainably produces an VOC of 0.50 V and a JSC of 0.5 mA cm−2, corresponding to a power conversion efficiency of 0.095%.
