The present study aimed to investigate whether selenylation modification could affect compositional features and in vivo immuno-stimulatory potential of yam polysaccharides. In this study, the soluble yam mucilage polysaccharides (YPS) were prepared and selenylated in the HNO 3 -Na 2 SeO 3 system, and two selenylated polysaccharide products, namely SeYPS-1 and SeYPS-2 with respective Se contents of 719 and 1585 mg/kg, were thus obtained. GC–MS analysis demonstrated that the compositional features of SeYPS-1 and SeYPS-2 were similar to those of YPS. Meanwhile, the immuno-stimulatory potential of the selenylated products, especially SeYPS-2, in the BALB/c mice model was higher than that of YPS, reflected by the elevated contents of serum immunoglobins and increased percentage of CD4 + splenic lymphocytes. It was thus confirmed that the selenylation did not change the composition of monosaccharides but endowed YPS with greater immuno-stimulation in the mice, while the higher extent of selenylation also caused a much enhanced immuno-stimulatory potential of SeYPS-2.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are a novel supplement with low toxicity but high instability. Polysaccharides are commonly used to stabilize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to enhance their bioactivity. However, the physicochemical properties of polysaccharide-stabilized SeNPs can be influenced by the molecular weight of polysaccharides, which is a lack of in-depth study. In this study, Agaricus blazei Murill polysaccharides (AbMP) were degraded via cold plasma treatment to obtain AbMP with a lower molecular weight, which were then used to prepare AbMP-SeNPs. Further, their physicochemical characteristics and in vitro simulated digestion were investigated. The plasma degradation mechanism of polysaccharides was revealed to be the breakage of glycosidic bonds, accompanied by the formation of C O groups. After degradation, AbMP with a lower molecular weight decreased the particle size of AbMP-SeNPs and improved their storage stability. As the molecular weight of AbMP decreased, the Se release mechanism of AbMP-SeNPs transformed from Fickian release to non-Fickian diffusion during the simulated intestinal digestion. This study offers valuable insights for optimizing polysaccharide-stabilized SeNPs through adjusting the molecular weight of polysaccharides.

Transition metal selenides (TMSes) are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors but suffer from poor conductivity and structural stability, restricting their electrochemical performance. Herein, we report a synergistic complex modification and interface engineering strategy to construct porous Ni(OH)₂-Ni₀.₈₅Se heterogeneous nanosheets anchored on elastic rGO-PEDOT:PSS (RPP) foam (RPP@Ni(OH)₂-Ni₀.₈₅Se) for high-performance electrochemical electrodes. The heterogeneous interface between Ni(OH)₂ and Ni₀.₈₅Se optimizes electronic structure, accelerates charge transfer, and relieves volume expansion. Meanwhile, the hierarchically porous RPP substrate provides rapid ion diffusion pathways and robust structural support for the composite electrode. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that the assembled device delivers a high specific capacitance of 143 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , with a retains 58.2% capacitance after 5000 cycles. It also has a relatively high power density (375.1 W kg −1 ) and energy density (44.7 Wh kg −1 ). Theoretical calculations reveal that the built-in interfacial electric field effectively reduces the redox reaction energy barrier and improves electrochemical activity of the electrode. This work clarifies the structure-activity relationship between heterogeneous interface engineering and electrochemical performance, and provides a universal strategy for designing high-stability, high-activity transition metal selenide composite electrodes.

Deep investigations on the synthetic and structural chemistry of heterometallic chalcogenidostannates bear fundamental significance for the establishment of the structure–property relationship that would offer guidance on the functional material innovation. Presented here are four ammonium- and/or alkylammonium-directed M–Sn–Q (M = Zn, Cd; Q = S, Se) compounds, namely, [NH4]7[H3O]3Zn4Sn4S17 (1), [NH4]5[(CH3)2NH2]Zn4Sn5S17 (2), [CH3CH2NH3]22Zn16Sn12Se51(H2O)4·16H2O (3), and [NH4]2CdSnSe4 (4). All four compounds were synthesized in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) or ethylamine aqueous solution, both of which function simultaneously as reaction media and structure-directing agents. Compound 1 consists of discrete P1-[Zn4Sn4S17]10– clusters templated by mixed [NH4]+/[H3O]+ cations. In compound 2, such P1 clusters are bridged by Sn4+ ions in a 4,4-connection mode to form a [Zn4Sn5S17]n6n– framework with three types of cavities (I–III) varying in size. The two smaller cavities (I and II) accommodate NH4+ while the larger one(III) is occupied by [(CH3)2NH2]+, reflecting the rational size-dependence of cations on cavities. Compound 3 features an [Zn16Sn12Se51(H2O)4]n22n– open framework constructed from the 4,3-connection of P1-[Zn4Sn4Se17]10– clusters and {Zn(H2O)}2+ bridges. This linkage mode contributes to a large cage-like subunit (inner dimension: 21.99 × 9.06 Å2) and therefore an ultrahigh porosity that are occupied by [CH3CH2NH3]+ cations and water molecules (volume fraction: 57.7%). Compound 4 exists as a stacking of [CdSnSe4]n2n– chains, which are composed of alternatively arranged {CdSe4} and {SnSe4} tetrahedra, in combination with [NH4]+ cations as both charge-compensating and space-filling agents. Detailed synthetic, structural, and topological analyses were performed on these solid materials, coupled with extensive investigations on their optical and thermal properties. Compound 3 exhibits an efficient Sr2+ adsorption performance, featuring ultrafast kinetics (94.69% in 5 min), high removal rate (98.57% in 20 min) at equilibrium, and high capacity (104.17 ± 23.53 mg g–1).

High carrier recombination at the Cu2ZnSn (S, Se)4(CZTSSe)/CdS interface is the critical issue that results in the low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of CZTSSe solar cells. To reduce the recombination by optimizing the CZTSSe/CdS interfacial structure, we fabricated a Zn doped CdS (ZnxCd1 – xS) thin film with x of 0–0.32 and a CZTSSe solar cell with the ZnxCd1 – xS as the buffer layer. It is found that Zn substitutes for Cd in the x range of 0–0.26 and that some of the Zn substitutes for Cd and another Zn locates in the interstitial site of the CdS lattice in the x range of 0.26–0.32, which make the lattice mismatch between CZTSSe and ZnxCd1 – xS decrease in x of 0–0.26 and increase in x of 0.26–0.32. The conduction band offset at the CZTSSe/ZnxCd1 – xS interface is demonstrated by XPS to be a positive ″spike″-like type and increases from 0.11 to 0.43 eV as x increases from 0 to 0.32. PCE is increased from 5.00 to 7.73% by optimizing x. The increased PCE is attributed to increased open-circuit voltage (VOC) and filling factor (FF), while the decreased PCE is due to decreased VOC, FF, and JSC. By using quantitative analysis methods, the increased VOC and FF are mainly attributed to the increased shunt resistance (Rsh) and decreased reverse saturation current density (J0), and the decreased short-circuit current density (JSC) is attributed to the increased conduction band offset (CBO). The influence mechanism of Zn doping on Rsh, J0, and CBO is discussed.

Air-processed kesterite solar cells show excellent prospects for commercial application because they are suitable for large-scale production. This study shows how the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of (Cu, Ag) 2 ZnSn(S, Se) 4 solar cells can be improved by adjusting the annealing time during the selenization process at a low temperature of 70 °C. Enhancement of PCE is achieved when the annealing time is 240 s. The primary determinant of enhanced PCE is a reduction in reverse saturation current density (J 0 ) and ideality factor (A). Examination of depth characterization indicated that the decrease in J 0 and A can be ascribed to the inhibition of [2Cu Zn + Sn Zn ] defects cluster, which is mainly accountable for the band tail states, and the suppression of interface recombination .

The progress of inexpensive, high-efficiency, and steady oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is of great importance to promoting water splitting for green hydrogen production. Herein, tri-metallic NiCoFe selenide catalyst backed up by carbon fiber paper (CFP) was synthesized by a facile selenization of NiCoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) for OER in alkaline solutions. The NiCoFe-Se/CFP inherited the porous nanostructure of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursors prepared by rapid cyclic voltammetry electrodeposition. Benefiting from the 3D hierarchical porous structure, optimized electronic structure of NiCoFe selenides and high conductivity, the synthesized electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity to the corresponding mono-metallic or bi-metallic selenides. Specifically, the NiCoFe-Se/CFP electrode demands an overpotential of 221 mV to attain the 10 mA cm −2 current density in 1.0 M KOH solution and a low Tafel slope of 38.6 mV dec -1 . The prepared catalyst also displays good stability and durability. These findings prove a feasible strategy to further improve the catalytic activities of non-precious metal based OER electrocatalysts by the cooperation of structure design and chemical component modification.

The removal of selenium (IV) from aqueous solutions was the focus of research that led to the discovery of a novel type of composite adsorbent called FeS@h-BN nanocomposite . This adsorbent was studied, characterized, and put to use in a fixed bed column. SEM, FTIR, XRD, and XPS analyses were conducted to learn more about the coated layer's surface properties. The effect of several adsorbent materials on the remediation of Se(IV) in dynamic water was examined. The Adams-Bohart model, the Thomas model, and the Yoon-Nelson model were all utilized to get optimal fits to the kinetic data obtained from the adsorption process. Moreover, the Adams-Bohart model was only applicable to the beginning portion of the dynamic behavior of the FeS and FeS@h-BN columns. The Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were sufficient for describing the breakthrough curve under all experimental conditions. For this dynamic process, the theoretical breakthrough curve profile was compared to an experimentally derived profile. It was discovered that FeS@h-BN nanocomposites are the most effective at removing Se(IV), and the adsorption of Se(IV) by a variety of adsorbent materials is enough for all three dynamic models.

Oxychalcogenides capable of exhibiting excellent balance among large second-harmonic generation (SHG) response, wide band gap ( E g ), and suitable birefringence (Δ n ) are ideal materials class for infrared nonlinear optical (IR NLO) crystals. However, rationally designing a new high-performance oxychalcogenide IR NLO crystal still faces a huge challenge because it requires the optimal orientations of the heteroanionic groups in oxychalcogenide. Herein, a series of antiperovskite-type oxychalcogenides, Ae 3 Q[GeOQ 3 ] (Ae = Ba, Sr; Q = S, Se), which were synthesized by employing the antiperovskite-type Ba 3 S[GeS 4 ] as the structure template. Their structures feature novel three-dimensinoal frameworks constructed by distorted [QAe 6 ] octahedra, which are further filled by [GeOQ 3 ] tetrahedra to form antiperovskite-type structures. Based on the unique antiperovskite-type structures, the favorable alignment of the polarizable [GeOQ 3 ] tetrahedra and distorted [QAe 6 ] octahedra have been achieved. These contribute the ideal combination of large SHG response (0.7–1.5 times that of AgGaS 2 ), wide E g (3.52–4.10 eV), and appropriate Δ n (0.017–0.035) in Ae 3 Q[GeOQ 3 ]. Theoretical calculations and crystal structure analyses revealed that the strong SHG and wide E g could be attributed to the polarizable [GeOQ 3 ] tetrahedra and distorted [QAe 6 ] octahedra. This research provides a new exemplification for the design of high-performance IR NLO materials.

The development of efficient and low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is highly challenging in urea-water-alkali electrolyzers. Herein, nickel-selenium electrocatalysts (denoted as Ni-Se) were controllably grown on Ni foam by a facile and simple cyclic voltammetric electrodeposition for overall urea electrolysis. Considering the good conductivity and high hydrophilic surface of Ni-Se@NF, the optimized Ni-Se electrocatalyst exhibited the eminent HER and UOR catalytic competence. In 1 M KOH with 0.33 M urea electrolyte, Ni-Se electrocatalysts required an overpotential of 181 mV for HER and potential of 1.347 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode for UOR to achieve a current density of 10 mA·cm −2 . Additionally, the electrocatalyst showed good durability in both HER and UOR. Moreover, the electrolyzer assembled by Ni-Se electrocatalysts as electrode couple exhibited a remarkable activity with a small cell voltage of 1.41 V to reach 10 mA·cm −2 for overall urea-water electrolysis.

Graphical By changing Cu/In molar ratios of Cu−In−Se QDs from 0.3 : 1 to 0.9 : 1, the photoluminescence spectra displayed a remarkable red-shift from 700 nm to 1050 nm. Although there was a blue-shift after the introduction of Zn 2+ dopants. in Cu−In−Se QDs, a significant red-shift occurred from 660 nm to 760 nm when the Zn/Cu molar ratios decreased from 0.7 : 0.3 to 0.3 : 0.7. These results confirmed the strong effect of the Cu/In and Zn/Cu molar ratios on the intrinsic and dopants states related-transition channels, including the band-edge, conduction band-intragap acceptor, as well as the donor-acceptor. The large structural tolerance of I–III–VI group quantum dots (QDs) to off-stoichiometry allows their photoluminescence properties to be adjusted via doping, thereby enabling application in different fields. However, the photophysical processes underlying their photoluminescence mechanism remain significantly unknown. In particular, the transition channels of CuInSe 2 QDs, which are altered by intrinsic and extrinsic intragap states, remain poorly reported. Herein, we investigated the photophysical processes associated with intragap states via electrochemical and optical techniques by using copper deficient Cu−In−Se QDs as well as Zn doped Cu−In−Se QDs. When the Cu/In molar ratios of Cu−In−Se QDs increased from 0.3 : 1 to 0.9 : 1, the photoluminescence spectra displayed a red-shift from 700 nm to 1050 nm. Although there was a blue-shift after the introduction of Zn 2+ dopants in Cu−In−Se QDs, a significant red-shift occurred (from 660 nm to 760 nm) when the Zn/Cu molar ratios decreased from 0.7 : 0.3 to 0.3 : 0.7. The Gaussian deconvolution results of the photoluminescence spectra and the band gap derived from absorption spectra by fitting supported the fact that the optical transition channels are dependent on the Cu/In and Zn/Cu molar ratios. After the introduction of the Zn 2+ ions, the alloyed-resultant blue-shift of the emission spectra was observed, primarily due to the enlarged band gap; however, the radiative recombination of prominent intrinsic intragap states is still observed; and only a small proportion of the band-edge exciton undergoes recombination for the sample with low Zn content. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed well-defined extrinsic Zn Cu intragap states (Zn substitution on Cu sites) and intrinsic Cu x (x= 1+/2+) states in the band gap. The results presented here provide a better understanding of the varying effects of dopant on photoluminescence in terms of I–III–VI group QDs.

Solution-processed chalcopyrite copper indium gallium sulfoselenide (Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se) 2 , CIGSSe) thin-film solar cells have achieved efficiency beyond 18% and have great potential as an alternative to vacuum-based ones. However, most of the efficient solution-based CIGSSe solar cells are fabricated by spin-coating in an inert atmosphere, which limits the transfer from lab protocol to industrial large-scale production. Herein, a scalable doctor-blading technique is applied to fabricate CuIn(S,Se) 2 (CISSe) absorbers from N,N-dimethylformamide molecular precursor solution in ambient air. With the optimization of the precursor concentration to reduce the residue solvent and change the thermal annealing process from one-step to two-step to separate solvent evaporation and complex decomposition to suppress fluidity, high-quality absorber films with densely packed large grains have been fabricated and a champion CISSe solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 12.54% has been achieved. Importantly, unlike the spin-coating technique which may cause composition change due to the different solubilities of the precursors, the doctor-bladed film has a composition very close to the precursor solution, which is very important for precise control of the absorber composition for industrial production.
