Polarized photovoltaic properties emerge: 2D materials combine, becoming polarized and giving rise to photovoltaic effect – Science Daily

For the first time, researchers have discovered a way to obtain polarity and photovoltaic behavior from certain nonphotovoltaic, atomically flat (2D) materials. The key lies in the special way in which the materials are arranged. The resulting effect is different from, and potentially superior to, the photovoltaic effect commonly found in solar cells.Solar power is considered a key technology in the move away from fossil fuels. Researchers continually innovate more efficient means to generate solar…
