Physicists at the UK's University of Exeter have found that the use of atomically thin materials could lead so solar cells with an efficiency above 60%. In the paper ‘Strain-engineered inverse charge-funnelling in layered semiconductors’, published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers describe working with the atomically thin semiconductor hafnium disulphide (HfS2), which is oxidized using a laser technique. In an article published in the journal Nature Communications, the team explained how tests using atomically thin semiconductor hafnium disulphide resulted in a funnelling effect on generated electricity. The researchers used this to demonstrate their new method for producing efficient photovoltaic cells.
