High-Specific Power Flexible Photovoltaics from Large-Area MoS for Space Applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS and WSe are excellent candidates for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Here, we present the modeling, fabrication, and characterization of large-area CVD-grown MoS-based flexible PV on an off-the-shelf, 3 μm-thick flexible colorless polyimide with polyimide encapsulation designed for space structures. The devices are characterized under 1 sun AM0 illumination and show a of 0.

Large-Area, High-Specific-Power Schottky-Junction Photovoltaics from CVD-Grown Monolayer MoS.

The deployment of two-dimensional (2D) materials for solar energy conversion requires scalable large-area devices. Here, we present the design, modeling, fabrication, and characterization of monolayer MoS-based lateral Schottky-junction photovoltaic (PV) devices grown by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The device design consists of asymmetric Ti and Pt metal contacts with a work function offset to enable charge separation.
