We demonstrated an improvement in efficiency of Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) decorated with silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) through successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The DSSCs employing FTO/TiO2/AgNPs and FTO/AgNPs/TiO2 as photoanodes show remarkably enhanced power conversion efficiencies up to about 36% and 25%, respectively, with an enhanced photocurrent densities of about 49% and 22% with respect to a reference cell containing FTO/TiO2 photoanode. These enhancements can be mainly attributed to the enhanced dye absorption by the intensified near-field effect of AgNPs and plasmon-enhanced photocurrent generation. The related PV performance enhancement mechanism and surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) in DSSCs with Ag nanostructures are discussed.
