According to a research:
- According to the research results the multicomponent, multilayered composite material device is called a van der Waals Schottky diode.
- It converts heat into electricity up to three times more efficiently than silicon a semi-conductor material.
- In addition,widely used in the electronics industry.

According to physicist:
- The ability of our diode to convert heat into electricity is very large compared to other bulk materials currently used in electronics.
- In the future, one layer could be attached to something hot.
- Like a car exhaust or a computer motor and another to a surface at room temperature.
- The diode would then use the heat differential between the two surfaces.
- To create an electric current that could be stored in a battery and used when needed.”
- In the world of electronics, Schottky diodes are used to guide electricity in a specific direction.
- They are made by attaching a conductor metal like aluminium to a semi-conductor material like silicon.This lowers resistance to the flow of electricity, making the device much more energy efficient.
