I wonder if this has any application for improvement of quantum dot solar cell performance? I did notice that Ag Nanoparticles are for sale on the QMC website.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the optical and electrical characteristics of the hybrid solar cells using silicon pyramid/Ag nanoparticles and nanowire/Ag nanoparticles nanocomposite structures, which are obtained by the Ag-assisted electro-less etching method. And we introduced the application of the physical and chemical properties for Ag nanoparticles on four kinds of solar cells: silicon pyramid, silicon pyramid /PEDOT SS silicon nanowrie, silicon nanowire/PEDOT SS. We simulated these structures with the absorption for different parameters. Furthermore, we also show the result of the current density- voltage (J-V) measurement with Ag nanoparticles which exhibits an improvement of power conversion efficiency in contrast to the samples without Ag nanoparticles. It was found that the properties of trapping light for Ag nanoparticles have a prominent impact on the improvement of power conversion efficiency in the hybrid solar cells.
