Abstract

In this study, we fabricated the transparent photovoltaic device using 2-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides and investigated the transparency and photovoltaic characteristics. P-n heterojunction was formed by mechanical exfoliation and aligned transfer method on the transparent sheet using n-type $MoS_2$ and p-type $WSe_2$. Our transparent photovoltaic device exhibited the open-circuit voltage of ~ 0.15 V and the short-circuit current of 0.48 nA under illumination of white light.
