High open-circuit voltage in transition metal dichalcogenide solar cells (2020)
Journal Article
Svatek, S. A., Bueno-Blanco, C., Lin, D.-Y., Kerfoot, J., Macías, C., Zehender, M. H., Tobías, I., García-Linares, P., Taniguchi, T., Watanabe, K., Beton, P., & Antolín, E. (2021). High open-circuit voltage in transition metal dichalcogenide solar cells. Nano Energy, 79, Article 105427. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2020.105427

The conversion efficiency of ultra-thin solar cells based on layered materials has been limited by their open-circuit voltage, which is typically pinned to a value under 0.6 V. Here we report an open-circuit voltage of 1.02 V in a 120 nm-thick vertic... Read More about High open-circuit voltage in transition metal dichalcogenide solar cells.

Fluorescence and Electroluminescence of J-Aggregated Polythiophene Monolayers on Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2020)
Journal Article

The photophysics of a semiconducting polymer is manipulated through molecular self-assembly on an insulating surface. Adsorption of polythiophene (PT) monolayers on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) leads to a structurally induced planarization and a reb...
