Abstract: In order to transfer light to electricity efficiently, thin film solar cells with the structure of supporting surface plasmons in metal particles are designed. Due to the surface plasmons can guide and localize lights, the physical thickness of solar photovoltaic absorbing layer can be decreased as well as the absorption in photovoltaic devices can be improved. This technology plays an important role in fabricating low-cost and high-efficiency thin film solar cells. In this review, the latest progress of the application of plasmonics in solar cells is researched, the mechanism of the intersection of plasmonics and photovoltaics is expounded, and an outlook on the future of solar cells based on these principles is offered.
