Our research focuses on enhancing the broadband absorption capability of organic solar cells (OSCs) by integrating plasmonic nanostructures made of Titanium nitride (TiN). Traditional OSCs face limitations in absorption efficiency due to their thickness, but incorporating plasmonic nanostructures can extend the path length of light within the active material, thereby improving optical efficiency. In our study, we explore the use of refractory plasmonics, a novel type of nanostructure, with TiN as an example of a refractory metal.
