Abstract It is been widely reported that plasmonic effects in metallic nanomaterials can enhance light trapping organix solar cells (OSCs). However, typical nanoparticles (NP) of high quality (i.e., mono‐dispersive) only possess a single resonant absorption peak, which inevitably limits the power conversion efficiency (PCE) enhancement to narrow spectral range.
