• also enhance scattering at their resonances. This effect has been exploited in solar cells, for example, enhanced scattering by arrays of silver nanoparticles permits a thickness reduction of Si solar cells without compromising the intrinsic energy conversion efficiency [44][45][46].

• within the CTA layer (Figure 12a), which can be explained by arrangement along the linear polymer chains and/or alignment in the casting direction (which was from left to right in this image). This is similar to spherical silver nanoparticles aligning in pearl-necklaces in the drawing direction when cast
