  • Abstract
    The photo-thermo electrical conversion system using black silicon and gold nanoparticles have been suggested for energy harvesting. Efficient light absorption with black silicon and plasmonic photo-thermal energy conversion was successfully improving the energy conversion efficiency of light. Totally ~50% of improvements has been achieved with optimization of Au nanoparticles diameters and density.
