Research into organic–inorganic heterojunction hybrid solar cells was initially driven by the promise of combining best properties organic and inorganic materials to achieve higher power conversion efficiencies. However, despite early optimism, it has become clear that simply creating heterojunctions does not necessarily lead significant enhancements in efficiency were anticipated. This review delves one promising avenue for overcoming these limitations: plasmonic enhancement. The provides analysis mechanisms behind effects, including near-field localization, far-field scattering, hot-electron energy transfer, discusses how effects can significantly enhance performance cells. It also addresses ongoing challenges integrating effectively optimizing their within cell devices. Ultimately, aims shed light on enhancement could be a key strategy achieving efficiencies realizing full potential
