Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing an organic polymer solar cell efficiency by using Au surface plasmon. Au nanoparticles with a certain size and concentration are mixed into a PEDOT: PSS hole transporting layer of the cell. The Au nanoparticles are synthesized through a wet chemical method. And chloroauric acid reacts with sodium citrate to obtain the Au nanoparticles which are dispersed in a water-soluble solvent. The Au nanoparticles are mixed with the PEDOT: PSS as a certain proportion and then mixture is spinningly coated on an ITO substrate. Annealing treatment is performed. The hole transporting layer containing the Au nanoparticles are prepared completely. Through using a local electric field enhancement effect of the Au nanoparticles, luminous absorption of the organic polymer solar cell can be increased and further a cell efficiency can be increased.
