PDSSC with plasmonic Au nanoparticles embedded in TiO₂ has shown 26% efficiency [73]. There are interesting mechanisms that are responsible for enhancing conversion of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)–based solar cells using metal nanostructures. These mechanisms include the increment in photocurrent by local electric field enhancement and amplification of the electric field near semiconductor surfaces by surface plasmons [74]. The plasmonic DSSC with hematite coated on Au nanopillars and N719 dye has shown enhanced absorption in visible range and efficiency of 10.2% [75]. Chander et al. have developed plasmonic DSSC with Au nanoparticle embedded with TiO₂ thin film with enhanced absorption in visible range and energy conversion efficiency of 4.46% [73].
