Table 2. Averaged bulk recombination rates under short-circuit J_sc, maximum power P_max, and open-circuit V_oc conditions for plasmonic solar cells with different photocarrier mobility of active materials and spatial distributions of exciton generation. N-Anode and N-Cathode are the short notations of near-anode and near-cathode.
