An additional method of using nanoparticles to enhance the efficiency of solar cells by utilizing the downconverting properties of nanoparticles, plasmonic multi-photon generation (PMPG) is also being investigated. In downconversion, high energy incident photons are converted into multiple lower energy photons that more closely correspond to the bandgap of a solar cell. This should simultaneously increase the efficiency of the cell and, in the case of perovskites, increase the long term stability, as these absorbers are negatively impacted by incident UV light. Synthesis of this system is also underway.
