The as-grown MoS_2 ultrathin film is about 10 nm thick, or about a few atomic layers of MoS_2. The film has a large optical absorption range of 300-700 nm and strong luminescence emission at 682 nm. The optical absorption range covered almost the entire ultraviolet to visible light range, which is very useful for making high-efficiency solar cells. Moreover, the MoS_2/Si heterojunction exhibited good rectification characteristics and excellent photovoltaic effects. The power conversion efficiency of the heterojunction device is about 1.79% under white light illumination of 10 m W/cm^2. The results show that the monolayer MoS_2 film will find many applications in high-efficiency optoelectronic devices.展开更多
