Alpha-phase indium selenide (α-In2Se3) is a promising material for next-generation solar cells

Caption

In this study, researchers demonstrated that α-In2Se3 exhibits a peculiar way of generating electricity from light called the bulk photovoltaic effect. Based on their experimental results, α-In2Se3-based devices could achieve remarkable performance in solar cells, paving the way for reliable renewable energy generation to achieve carbon neutrality.
