Abstract:In the present work, by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate the mechanical properties of different nanostructures that may be core elements in next generation flexible/wearable photovoltaic devices, namely double layer WS2 nanosheets (DLNS), graphene/WS2 (layer) composites and graphene/WS2 nanotube (NT) composites. Our results reveal that the mechanical properties of DLNS deteriorate when compared to those of monolayer WS2. Owing to graphene’s reinforcement action, the mechanical properti… Show more
