Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We fabricated a plasmonic layer by immobilizing both Au and Ag nanoparticles via P4VP on a photoactive layer for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to prevent aggregation of metal nanoparticles, to increase absorbance of N719 dye, and to enhance light harvesting and power conversion efficiency (PCE). The optimal conditions for immobilizing these nanoparticles were also examined. With plasmonic Au and Ag nanoparticles, the PCE increased by 8.05% and 5.78%, respectively (plasmonic Au nanoparticles: from 8.82% to 9.53%; plasmonic Ag nanoparticles: from 8.82% to 9.33%). When both Au and Ag nanoparticles were employed in the plasmonic layer, the PCE showed further improvement of 10.17%, corresponding to a 15.31% enhancement. This significant improvement of the PCE could be explained by a broader range of light absorption resulting from the presence of the plasmonic layer.
