Applications
Dye-sensitized Solar Cells
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) quantum dots, coated on titanium dioxide (TiO2) by chemical bath deposition, have improved the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by about 11%. WS2 quantum dots exhibit dominant optical absorption in the spectral range of 350-800 nm with characteristic peaks at 550 nm and 620 nm, corresponding to direct bandgap optical K-dot conversion. The optoelectronic properties of DSSCs with WS2 quantum dots demonstrate the additional photoelectrons generated by WS2 through increased photocurrent density and overall performance.

Photodetectors
The work of Sajid et al. demonstrates the fabrication and characterization of a highly sensitive fully printed photodetector based on a monolayer of active films. The active region consists of a complex of MEH:PPV and MoS2 quantum dots. The device was fabricated using reverse offset electrodes and hybrid surface acoustic wave electrohydrodynamic atomization (SAW-EHDA) for thin film deposition. The structure also has the advantage of a single active layer without a top electrode, making it easier and simpler to fabricate, while improving device robustness and stability. The molybdenum disulfide quantum dots improve the device's sensitivity to the ultraviolet (UV) region, making the device an excellent candidate for commercial UV index sensors in wearable devices.

Fiber Lasers
WSe2 is a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) material with high performance electronic and optoelectronic properties that is becoming the next generation of optoelectronic devices. By applying WSe2 nanofilms as saturable absorbers in an erbium-doped fiber laser, Dz et al. can experimentally observe versatile mode-locking operation in conventional soliton, soliton molecule, and dual-wavelength mode-locked states. The phase difference and pulse separation of the soliton molecules can be adjusted by appropriately setting the state and pump power of the polarization controller. In the TMDs-based fiber laser, a soliton molecule with four stable phase differences (0, ±π/2, π) was achieved. Also, a novel dual-wavelength mode-locked state with soliton singlet and soliton molecules was obtained.
