title: Wide-angle polarization-free plasmon-enhanced light absorption in perovskite films using silver nanowires.
abstract: Since the successful implementation of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites as light-absorbing materials, stunning progresses have been made towards the efficiency boost of perovskite solar cells. To build upon these successes, further impetus may derive from revisits to the intrinsic properties of perovskites, such as their optical properties. Herein, we introduce periodic Ag nanowire (AgNW) structures into perovskite films to optimize their solar absorption efficiency through plasmonic interactions. Numerical simulations show a remarkable integrated solar absorption enhancement of 25.9% attained by incorporating properly tailored AgNW arrays into perovskite films. The AgNW crosses are further introduced to achieve polarization-independent light harvesting capability. The omnidirectional light absorption enhancement ability of the AgNW embedded perovskite films is also demonstrated.
