Researchers from Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology have announced the development of the world’s most efficient broadband nanoplasmonic solar cells. The scientists enhanced the performance ofexisting thin-film cells by incorporating nucleated or “bumpy” gold and silver nanoparticles. By undertaking so, they were in a position to increase the cells’ absolute efficiency up to 8.1 percent…
