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.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 499(1), 1116-1125. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2866

Bars are common in low-redshift disc galaxies, and hence quantifying their influence on their host is of importance to the field of galaxy evolution. We determine the stellar populations and star formation histories of 245 barred galaxies from the Ma...
