Abstract
This relates to a device for detecting or converting light or heat energy, the device comprising: a Graphene sheet formed into a scroll such as to provide a monolayer structure in which the radius of curvature of the graphene sheet increases on increasing distance from the longitudinal axis of the scroll.
Claims18
A device for detecting or converting light or heat energy, the device comprising:
- two electrical contacts;
- and
- an active layer sandwiched between the two electrical contacts, wherein the active layer comprises one or more scrolls, therein the or each scroll consists of a Graphene sheet formed into the scroll such as to provide a monolayer structure in which the radius of curvature of the graphene sheet increases on increasing distance from the longitudinal axis of the scroll.
(canceled)
A bulk heterojunction organic solar ink comprising scrolls and an electron acceptor which is a mix of PCBM and polymers, wherein each scroll consists of a graphene sheet formed into the scroll such as to provide a monolayer structure in which the radius of curvature of the graphene sheet increase on increasing distance from the longitudinal axis of the scroll.
