Plasmoelectric effect instead of photovoltaic effect - a nice solution for future solar cells

Traditional solar cells are still using the photovoltaic effect to convert solar power to electricity. Now is the time to deliver some changes to the solar power technology. It is wise to use the plasmoelectric effect instead of photovoltaic effect. Plasmoelectric effect is based on plasmons that are generated on metalic surface with nanoholes. The metal atoms convert to excited state and the electric potential is formed. This way it is not only the visible part of the solar energy that can be converted to electricity. The infrared part will also have its conversion made. Plasmonic materials are still in a research phase, but the first lab applications have already been made and we could expect satisfactory results in near future.
