Solar cell using transition metal Dichalcogenide

Overview

As an environmentally friendly solar cell, light, transparent, and flexible solar cells are required. However, a technique that satisfies these three points has not yet been reported. On the other hand, a transparent solar cell using a semiconductor material such as transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) has been proposed as a candidate that satisfies the above requirements.
The present invention relates to a light, transparent, and flexible photoelectric conversion device using a TMD, and further to a technology that enables provision of a transparent solar cell capable of enlarging an area by an inventor's ingenuity.
