Abstract

Plasmonics is an emerging area concerning in the fields of optics, telecommunications, optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Plasmonic nanostructures in general possess the capability to effectively concentrate and trap the electromagnetic field into the active region of the device covering different spectral regions of the entire solar spectrum. This could be finely tuned by optimizing several parameters such as the type of material, its shape, size and the local dielectric medium surrounding the particles. Excitonics, on the other hand is another independent branch of study primarily involving with the manipulation in generation and recombination of electron-hole pairs in inorganic and organic semiconductors, dyes and polymers. There is a subtle, yet a strong complementarity that exists between Plasmonics and Excitonics which could be exploited to generate several hybrid functional materials and devices to potentially enhance/boost the performance and efficiency of the devices. In this book chapter, I will start by discussing with the background on Plasmonics and Excitonics and how we can combine materials from these individual fields to develop hybrid heterostructures and fabricate all next generation photovoltaic devices. Next, I will give a detailed survey on how these materials could be synthesized using several substrate and solution based wet-chemistry, solvothermal, continuous flow and hot-injection methods. Several surface, optical and electrical characterization techniques will be thoroughly discussed concerning the plasmonic and excitonic nanostructures. The latter half of the chapter will be followed by discussing the underlying design principles and the device physics involving the interfacial exciton generation, recombination and charge carrier extraction processes when these plasmonic and excitonic materials are incorporated/embedded in between other transport layers. Finally, in conclusion, I will briefly discuss certain future prospects and perspectives involving these materials that could potentially open up new opportunities in the fabrication strategies of several high performance hybrid photovoltaic devices.
