Copper Nanoparticles Incorporated Titanium Dioxide Photoanode for Plasmonic Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Abstract

Efforts were made to enhance the efficiency of the plasmonic DSSC by incorporating the copper metallic nanoparticles into the TiO2 photoanode by electrodeposition method. This increment is purely due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of incorporated Copper nanoparticles.
