All-inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) are of great importance in a range of electronic devices. However, current all-inorganic NCs suffer from limitations in their optical properties, such as low fluorescence efficiencies. Here, we develop a general surface treatment strategy to obtain intensely luminescent all-inorganic NCs (ILANs) by using designed metal salts with noncoordinating anions that play a dual role in the surface treatment process: (i) removing the original organic ligands and (ii) binding to unpassivated Lewis basic sites to preserve the photoluminescent (PL) properties of the NCs. The absolute photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of red-emitting CdSe/ZnS NCs, green-emitting CdSe/CdZnSeS/ZnS NCs and blue-emitting CdZnS/ZnS NCs in polar solvents are 97%, 80% and 72%, respectively. Further study reveals that the passivated Lewis basic sites of ILANs by metal cations boost the efficiency of radiative recombination of electron-hole pairs. While the passivation of Lewis basic sites leads to a high PLQY of ILANs, the exposed Lewis acidic sites provide the possibility for in situ tuning of the functions of NCs, creating opportunities for direct optical patterning of functional NCs with high resolution.

Sulfur-containing polymer (SCP) is considered as an outstanding cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries. However, undesirable soluble polysulfides may shuttle in electrolyte, concluding long-chain Li 2 S n ( n > 4) and short-chain Li 2 S n ( n ≤ 4), as well as the sluggish conversion kinetics are yet to be solved to enhance the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. Here Se-doped sulfurized polyaniline with adjusted sulfur-chain −S x − ( x ≤ 6) contribute to ensure the absence of long-chain polysulfides, and the skeleton with quinoid imine can endow strongly adsorption towards short-chain polysulfides by the reversible transition between deprotonated/protonated imine ( - N H + = and - N = ), which offer double insurance against suppressing “shuttle effect”. Furthermore, Se atoms are doped into sulfurized polysulfides to accelerate the redox conversion and take a frontier orbital theory-oriented view into catalytic mechanism. Se-doped sulfurized polyaniline as active materials for lithium-organosulfur batteries delivers good electrochemical performance, including high rate, reversible specific capacity (680 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), and lower capacity decay rate only of 0.15% with near 100% coulomb efficiency during long-term cycle. This work provides a valuable guiding ideology and promising solution for the chemistry-oriented structure design and practical application for lithium-organosulfur batteries.

Ru-based catalysts are potential substitutes for Pt in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It is worth noting that the Se ions in RuSe2 can modulate the electronic structure of the Ru metal, thus effectively improving the HER kinetics of RuSe2. However, single electronic structure modulation is hard to complete due to the electron deficiency of active Ru atoms. Herein, we prepare and design a novel RuSe2/Co–N–C (RuSe2 nanospheres supported on Co–N–C nanosheets) electrocatalyst with two-electron modulation by a hydrothermal and thermal annealing method. Benefiting from the uniform distribution of RuSe2 nanospheres on Co–N–C nanosheets and Co–N–C nanosheets acting as additional electron donors to make up for the electron deficiency of the Ru metal, RuSe2/Co–N–C exhibits excellent HER performance with a low overpotential of 26.4 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a low Tafel slope of 53.2 mV dec−1. This work offers an effective method for the synthesis of high catalytic performance electrocatalysts by constructing an interaction between the carrier and the active metal.

To alleviate kinetics imbalance and capacity insufficiency simultaneously, a novel hierarchical structure (SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC) composed of delaminated Ti3C2Tx, SnCu2Se4 nanoparticles, and N-doped porous carbon layers is designed as a battery-type anode for lithium/sodium ion hybrid capacitor (LIC/SIC). The combination of SnCu2Se4 nanoparticles with high specific capacity, d-Ti3C2Tx with accelerated ion diffusion path, and NPC with enhanced electronic conductivity makes the SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC composite possess excellent cycling stabilities in half-cell lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries (LIB and SIB), with capacities of 114 mAh g–1 after 6000 cycles at 10 A g–1 for LIB and 296 mAh g–1 after 900 cycles at 1.0 A g–1 for SIB. The rate performance is also outstanding, with recovered capacity of 738 mAh g–1 at 0.1 A g–1 after cycles at current densities up to 50 A g–1 for LIB. Subsequently, LIC and SIC based on the SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC anode and activated carbon cathode exhibit high energy densities of 147.9 and 158.6 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 100 W kg–1, respectively. They also possess distinctive long lifespans with capacity retentions of 78 and 81% after 10,000 cycles at 1.0 A g–1, respectively, demonstrating the feasibility of SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC toward energy devices requiring high energy density, power density, and long-term stability.

The selenylation/sulfuration of magnetic precursor brings about the great challenges to construct magnetic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)-based multicomponent nanocomposites (MCNCs), which greatly hinders the improvements in magnetic loss ability and impedance matching characteristic. Theoretically speaking, the addition of carbon layer is conducive to protect the magnetic nanoparticles, optimize the impedance matching, strengthen the interfacial polarization and magnetic loss abilities, and so on. In order to verify these ideas, herein, we elaborately designed and produced core@shell ZnSe/FeSe 2 @MoSe 2 and core@shell@shell ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 flower-like MCNCs. The results of comparative study indicated that the as-prepared ZnSe/FeSe 2 @MoSe 2 and ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 with the different MoSe 2 contents and flower-like geometrical morphologies could be synthesized by regulating the amounts of Mo and Se sources. And the introduction of carbon layer not only effectively inhibited the selenylation of ZnFe 2 O 4 precursor, but also greatly improved the impedance matching characteristic, dielectric and magnetic loss capabilities. The obtained ZnFe 2 O 4 @C@MoSe 2 MCNCs presented the excellent comprehensive microwave absorption properties (MAPs) including strong absorption capability, broad frequency bandwidth and thin matching thickness. Therefore, our findings not only presented a simple and viable route to produce magnetic TMDs-based MCNCs, but also provided an effective strategy to boost their comprehensive MAPs.

Owing to price-boom and low-reserve of Lithium ion batteries (LIBs), cost-cutting and well-stocked sodium ion batteries (SIBs) attract a lot of attention, aiming to develop an effective energy storage and conversion equipment. As a typical anode for SIBs, Iron sulfide (FeS) is difficult to maintain the high theoretical capacity. Structural instability and inherent low conductivity limit the cyclic and rate performance of FeS. Herein, hierarchical architecture of FeS-FeSe 2 coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) is obtained by single-step solvothermal method and two-stage high-temperature treatments. Specifically, lattice imperfections provided by heterogeneous interfaces increase the Na + storage sites and fasten ion/electron transfer. Synergistic effect induced by the hierarchical architecture effectively enhances the electrochemical activity and reduces the resistance, which contributes to the transfer kinetics of Na + . In addition, the phenomenon that heterogeneous interfaces provide more active site and extra migration Na + path is also proved by density functional theory (DFT). As an anode for SIBs, FeS-FeSe 2 /NC (FSSe/C) delivers highly reversible capacity (704.5 mAh·g −1 after 120 cycles at 0.2 A·g −1 ), excellent rate performance (326.3 mAh·g −1 at 12 A·g −1 ) and long-lasting durability (492.3 mAh·g −1 after 1000 cycles at 4 A·g −1 with 100 % capacity retention). Notably, the full battery , assembled with FSSe/C and Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (NVP/C), delivers reversible capacity of 252.1 mAh·g −1 after 300 cycles at 1 A·g −1 . This work provides a facile method to construct a hierarchical architecture anode for high-performance SIBs.

It has been a universal route for enhanced photoelectric performance in photodetectors by constructing a heterojunction that is conductive for suppressing recombination of photogenerated carriers and promoting collection efficiency, and probably producing self-powered capability. However, the dependence of the built-in electric field distributions created by the heterojunction on photodetector performance has rarely been investigated. Herein, two kinds of self-powered UV–visible photodetectors with different device architectures based on single Se wire and CsPbBr3 particles are facilely fabricated and compared. It is found that both the two photodetectors show excellent self-powered operating properties, fast response and binary response. However, due to the different distributions of built-in electric field caused by device architectures, it yields a significant photovoltaic voltage distinction and different responsivity and detectivity spectra for the Se/CsPbBr3 photodetectors. These results are conductive to guide the design of self-powered heterojunction photodetectors by regulating the built-in electric field distributions.

The Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption at the edge of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is close to that of Pt, meaning that MoS 2 is the best candidate to replace Pt-based materials. However, easy agglomeration between layers to mask active sites, lack of catalytic activity in the basal planes, and poor electronic conductivity make MoS 2 exhibit dissatisfactory hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic performance. Here, we successfully construct a van der Waals heterostructure stacked alternately with Mo(SSe) 2-x and graphene (Mo(SSe) 2-x /G) to enhance its catalytic ability. The introduction of Se into MoS 2 and the thermal treatment induce the sample to generate more anion vacancies. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the constructed van der Waals heterostructure, the introduced Se element, and the increased anion vacancies are in favor of promoting the number of active sites and improving the electronic conductivity of the catalyst. Therefore, Mo(SSe) 2-x /G exhibits superior HER catalytic performance (the overpotentials of 137 mV and 136 mV at a current of 10 mA cm −2 ) and long-term stabilities (>90 h and 140 h at a current density of 20 mA cm −2 ) in both acidic and alkaline media.

Enabling highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production from solar-driven water splitting is of immense potential and environmental significance. However, the crucial issue of the low utilization efficiency of photogenerated charges in most photocatalysts , such as polymeric graphitic carbon nitride , g-C 3 N 4 (CN), hampers the overall photocatalytic activity and hinders practical applications. To surmount this parasitic phenomenon, we develop a heterojunction-based strategy that improves the charge separation efficiency in CN. The heterostructure is constructed between thermally exfoliated CN and liquid phase exfoliated Bi 2 O 2 Se (BOS) via a solution-phase, electrostatically driven self-assembly process. The properly aligned band positions between the two components create a built-in electric field, which endows the composite with an enhanced charge separation efficiency. The optimized Pt-deposited heterostructure photocatalyst exhibits a hydrogen production rate of 6481 μmol h −1 g −1 , and an apparent quantum efficiency of 11.65% at 420 nm, compared to those of Pt-deposited ECN (4595 μmol h −1 g −1 , 6.64 %). We validate the efficient charge separation effect and the prolonged lifetime of photogenerated carriers in the heterostructure using a series of comprehensive characterizations across multiple timescales, thus, elucidating the origin of the observed photocatalytic activity. This demonstration offers valuable insights into improving the utilization efficiency of photogenerated charges for photocatalysis by heterostructure engineering with materials of distinct electronic configurations.

Due to the low toxicity and abundance of nature, Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has been considered as a promising solar cell material. The absorber is the most critical structure in a solar cell, which determines the performance of the cell. Selenium-rich CZTSSe can be formed by replacing S atoms of CZTS with Se. However, the method of adding Se element through H 2 Se is constrained due to the toxicity of H 2 Se. The work adopted a method to prepare excellent CZTSSe absorbers without H 2 Se. The stack structure CZTS precursor films were prepared by solution-based deposition, and CZTSSe absorbers were obtained after selenization annealing at 550 °C with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 g of selenium powders in argon, respectively. The obtained CZTSSe absorbers had pure CZTSSe phase, high absorption coefficients and appropriate bandgaps. After annealing with 0.2 g of selenium powder, the holes in the CZTSSe film diminished, and the grain size of absorbers increased from 0.31 µm in the CZTS absorber to 1.17 µm. The peaks of Se 3d for CZTSSe absorber were observed, the lattice spacing of plane (112) increased from 3.10 Å to 3.22 Å, and the work function decreased from 5.31 eV to 5.19 eV. The improved performance of absorber will be of great significance for the efficiency of CZTSSe device.

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) as functional interface layer have been used to improve the performances of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the optimization of PSCs by CdSe QDs has some challenges of inferior performances for charge transportation, and interface defects, which are not conducive to the development of power conversion efficiency (PCE). Here, sodium thiosulfate capped CdSe QDs (S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs) are prepared as interface modifiers to improve the performances of PSCs. The S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs can effectively passivate defects and reduce interfacial nonradiative recombination, Moreover, the S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs regulate the energy level of perovskite film. In addition, the S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs form an interface layer to increase moisture resistance and improve the stability of PSCs. As a result, the devices with S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs show an improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.57 %. Meanwhile, the stabilities of the unencapsulated device with S 2 O 3 2- -CdSe QDs under 25 °C with a humidity of 30 %–40 %, and 85 °C in N 2 heat both perform better than the control devices.

The suitably large modulation depth of the saturable absorber (SA) is crucial to obtaining short pulse lasers via passive Q-switching or mode-locking techniques. Graphene could theoretically be used as a mid-infrared (mid-IR) SA due to its zero band-gap. However, the low modulation depth of graphene in the mid-IR region limits its applications. In this work, to improve the mid-IR modulation depth of graphene, a strategy of functionalizing graphene with narrow-band gap semiconductors was adopted. Graphene/PbSe (G/PbSe) composite was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process and the reflective G/PbSe SA was prepared by spin-coating method. The saturation absorption properties were investigated by the open aperture Z-scan technique. The results indicated that the saturation absorption properties of G/PbSe SA were largely enhanced, and the modulation depth was increased from 3.02 % to 5.4 % at ∼ 2.8 μm and from 2.5 % to 6.4 % at ∼ 4 μm compared with pure graphene. Moreover, with the as-prepared reflective G/PbSe SA, passively Q-switched Er:YAP laser operation at ∼ 2.8 µm was realized. At the pump power of 6.78 W, the pulse train with pulse width of 326 ns and repetition rate of 107 kHz was obtained, and the average output power was 498 mW. This study presents a way for preparing graphene-based mid-IR SAs for short pulse mid-IR lasers.
