[0028] As analyzed in the background of this application, most existing solar cells are based on materials such as MoS2 and WSe2. However, these materials transform from direct bandgap semiconductors to indirect bandgap semiconductors as the number of layers increases, which limits the application of these solar cells in optoelectronic devices.

ReSe2 has many unique properties, such as the quantum confinement effect of thin-layer two-dimensional materials, and its band gap is related to the number of material layers. Therefore, its band gap can be adjusted by changing the number of layers of ReSe2 materials to meet the needs of practical applications.
