er Waals heterostructures', as well in novel optoelectronics devices and solar cells.”
The team says that it is now busy working on tuning the physical properties of ReS2 in the bulk and monolayer limits by engineering defects in the material and by doping. “We are also alloying ReS2 with other members of the dichalcogenide family and looking at the hybrid properties of these ‘composites’”, he revealed.
