二维（2D）范德华层状材料在过去十年中为光电子学领域创造了新的途径，展示了有前途的新的和多样化的应用。这些材料在单到几个原子层形式下的强光-物质相互作用特性实现了有希望的最薄光伏太阳能电池。在过去的几年里，人们对这些材料的光电特性，如场效应晶体管、光电二极管、存储器件、光开关和激子物理等进行了深入的研究，这表明它们在光伏应用方面具有巨大的潜力。本文综述了这些二维材料及其异质结构在不同器件配置下的光伏太阳能电池研究进展。详细讨论了基于机械转移法叠加或CVD技术制备的p-n结太阳能电池的垂直构型和横向构型。从电荷收集效率的角度讨论了各种器件的性能。此外，我们还讨论了这些光伏太阳能电池的挑战和局限性，以及未来实际应用中提高效率的可能途径。
Two-dimensional (2D) van derWaals layered materials created new avenue for the last decade in the field of optoelectronics for showing promising new and diverse applications. Strong light-matter interaction properties on these materials in single to few atomic layer form realized promising thinnest possible photovoltaic solar cells. Over the past few years, optoelectronics properties such as field-effect transistors, photodiodes, memory devices, optical switching, and excitonic physics of these materials have been intensively explored which indicates great potential for photovoltaic applications. Here, we reviewed the recent progress on photovoltaic solar cells of these 2D materials and their heterostructures with different device configurations. The p-n junction solar cells of vertical and lateral configuration devices are discussed in detail based on their stacking using mechanical transfer method or fabricated using CVD technique. The performance of each device configurations was also discussed based on their charge collection efficiency. In addition, we discussed the challenges and limitation of these photovoltaic solar cells and the possible routes to enhance the efficiency for future practical applications.
