Efficiency improvement in dye sensitized solar cells by the plasmonic effect of green synthesized silver nanoparticles

In the present investigation, the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells has been remarkably increased by incorporation of green synthesized silver nanoparticles into TiO2 photoanodes. Uniform silver nanoparticles were developed by treating silver ions with Peltophorum pterocarpum...
