Abstract Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been used widely in constructing
photodetectors (PDs) because of their advantages in flexible integration and ultrabroad …

We present an overview of the different processes that can result from focusing an ultrafast
laser light in the femtosecond–nanosecond time regime on a host of materials, eg, metals …

The nanostructuring of silicon surfaces—known as black silicon—is a promising approach to
eliminate front-surface reflection in photovoltaic devices without the need for a conventional …

In order to develop high performance polymer solar cells (PSCs), full exploitation of the sun-
irradiation from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (NIR) is one of the key factors to ensure high …

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research attention in
recent days due to their extraordinary and unique properties upon exfoliation from the bulk …

This paper reviews a new field of direct femtosecond laser surface nano/microstructuring
and its applications. Over the past few years, direct femtosecond laser surface processing …

A self-powered, solution-processed perovskite photodetector with sub-nanosecond
response time is presented. Eliminating charge trapping and removing the constraints from …

Van der Waals heterostructures based on 2D layered materials have received wide attention
for their multiple applications in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, light‐emitting …
