title: Device performance of inverted polymer solar cells with AgSiO(2) nanoparticles in active layer.
abstract: Localized surface plasmon mediated polymer solar cells (PSCs) were fabricated using the Ag/SiO(2) nanoparticles (NPs). The inverted PSC structure without poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (
  PSS) was prepared due to the efficient insertion of Ag/SiO(2) NPs in the vicinity of active layer, which led to an enhancement in photo-conversion efficiency (PCE). This enhancement mainly comes from the light scattering by the SiO(2) shell and the localized surface plasmon effect by the Ag core, but we also considered the structural issues such as the NP distribution, the swelling of the active layer and of the metal electrode.
