Kesterite Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) is emerging as one of the most promising materials owing to its low-cost, non-toxicity, similar electronic properties with Cu 2 (In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS). However, the current highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) for CZTSSe device is far below the CIGS because of the high open-circuit voltage (V oc ) deficit and low fill factor (FF). Here, we fabricated CZTSSe thin film from 2-methoxyethanol solutions and investigated the effects of different Sn (Sn 2+ vs Sn 4+ ) oxidation states of precursor solution and selenization temperature on the crystal quality of the CZTSSe thin film and device performances. By characterizations and analyses, we found that incomplete redox reaction caused by the off-stoichiometric component in Sn 2+ precursor solution led to the formation of detrimental secondary phases such as SnSe, Cu 2 Se, and SnSe 2 in the CZTSSe thin film. The existence of volatile SnSe could cause the formation of voids and thus affected the FF and V oc . The reaction from Sn 4+ precursor solution to absorber material avoided the formation of SnSe. Ultimately, the Sn 4+ thin film showed better features in terms of improving crystal quality and reducing V oc deficit that limited the efficiency of kesterite CZTSSe thin film solar cells. Besides, we demonstrated that an appropriate selenization temperature could further reduce the number of secondary phases and improve the surface morphology and crystallinity of the CZTSSe thin film. As a result, we obtained CZTSSe thin film solar cells with 8.27% PCE from the Sn 4+ precursor solution under the selenization temperature of 580 °C.

Kesterite Cu 2 Zn 1- x Cd x Sn(S,Se) 4 (CZCTSSe) alloy thin films were fabricated by the water-based solution approach. The influence of Cd doping on the morphology, phase structure, element valence states, optical, electrical, and device performance were comprehensively examined. Cd was clearly alloyed into the Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) absorber layer to form the CZCTSSe compound. By controlling the relative Cd content, band gap values ( E g ) of the CZCTSSe thin films were engineered between 1.10 eV and 1.21 eV. In addition, doping with Cd led to the enhancement of grain growth as well as improvement of the conductivity and photoelectric property of the absorber layer. In particular, the CZCTSSe ( x = 0.4) absorber layer exhibited a pure phase, larger grain size, compact and uniform topography, suitable band gap, Cu-poor and (Cd+Zn)-rich composition, higher conductivity and better photoelectric response. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) is improved from 4.37% of the CZCTSSe ( x = 0.0) device to 5.16% of CZCTSSe ( x = 0.4) device, and the increases of short-circuit current ( J sc ) achieved to 8.94 mA/cm 2 . The encouraging results suggest that doping of Cd is an effective way to improve CZTSSe film properties and promote device efficiency.

Taking advantage of nano-sized active materials, doping and self-supporting, Se-doped Bi 2 S 3 /3D carbon foam (Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF) is synthesized through a pyrolysing-hydrothermal-heating three-steps process. The as-synthesized Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF hybrid exhibits a significant improvement in electrochemical performance, showing a high specific capacity of 441.8 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles with the coulombic efficiency approximating to 100%. The special nanoneedle-like structure of Bi 2 S 3 makes for shortening ion transmission distance, minishing the mechanical stress and thus improving the electrochemical performance. And the introduction of Se can enhance the specific capacity, cycling stability and rate performance by improving of electronic conductivity and forming Se-contained inactive phase during alloying process. Furthermore, the self-supporting electrode is beneficial to simplify preparation process and reduce the loss of volume energy density . The strategy presented in this paper to improve the electrochemical performance of secondary ions battery can be also applied to other novel electrodes materials.

Designing of catalysts with high activity and earth abundance which can further enhance the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance so as to improve the hydrogen production efficiency. In this paper, we synthesized 1T-MoSe 2 -Se/MgAl-LDH composites by in-situ hydrothermal reduction method. The high proportion 1T phase (73.73%) of ultra-thin layer 1T-MoSe 2 -Se was obtained by acid dissolution operation, which can be ascribed to the limiting growth effect of MgAl-LDH. Compared to Pure MoSe 2 , it dramatically improved HER catalytic activity. the optimal 1T-MoSe 2 -Se (24 h) exhibits superior HER performance with a small overpotential (122 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 ) and Tafel slope (54 mV dec −1 ) as well as excellent electrochemical stability. The introduction of Se can promote the conductivity of 1T-MoSe 2 -Se catalyst. Moreover, the best electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance can be exhibited synergistically only when the optimal match between MoSe 2 and Se is achieved, which are confirmed by XPS analysis and HER test results.

A method is presented for matrix separation, preconcentration and determination by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry of trace amounts of Se(IV). It is based on solidified floating drops of 1-undecanol that are capable of extracting the target analyte after chelation with a water soluble ligand and subsequent ultrasound-assisted back-extraction into a aqueous solution. Hydride generation was then accomplished by reaction with a solution of sodium borohydride. Under optimized conditions, an enrichment factor of 15 and a linear calibration plot in the range from 0.01 to 5.0 μg L −1 were achieved using a 10.0 mL sample. The detection limit (3σ) is 7.0 ng L −1 , and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is 2.1% at 1.0 μg L −1 ( n = 11). The method was applied to determination of Se(IV) in different real water samples through recovery experiments and subsequently validated against two certified reference materials.
A solidified floating organic drop microextraction coupled with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry for the determination of Se(IV) is described.

Four silver chalcogen compounds, Ag 2 O, Ag 2 S, Ag 2 Se and Ag 2 Te, can be utilized as visible-light-driven photocatalysts. In this research, the electronic structures of these compounds were analyzed by simulation and experiments to systematically reveal the relationship between photocatalytic performance and energetic structure. All four chalcogenides exhibited interesting photocatalytic activities under ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light. However, their photocatalytic performances and stability significantly depended on the band gap width, and the valence band and conduct band position, which was determined by their composition. Increasing the X atomic number from O to Te resulted in the upward movement of the valence band top and the conduct band bottom, which resulted in narrower band gaps, a wider absorption spectrum, a weaker photo-oxidization capacity, a higher recombination probability of hole and electron pairs, lower quantum efficiency, and worse stability. Among them, Ag 2 O has the highest photocatalytic performance and stability due to its widest band gap and lowest position of VB and CB. The combined action of photogenerated holes and different radicals, depending on the different electronic structures, including anion ozone radical, hydroxide radical, and superoxide radical, was observed and understood. The results of experimental observations and simulations of the four silver chalcogen compounds suggested that a proper electronic structure is necessary to obtain a balance between photocatalytic performance and absorbable light region in the development of new photocatalysts.

Large open-circuit voltage deficit is still the main factor restricting the performance of kesterite Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 thin film solar cells. The high concentration of Cu Zn defects and [2Cu Zn + Sn Zn ] defect clusters are believed to be the significant origins of severe band tailing of the kesterite absorber. A promising way to improve the open-circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency of the device is substituting Ag + with a larger ionic radius for Cu + to suppress the defects and construct a front-graded bandgap. However, the Ag doping in kesterite can significantly lower the melting temperature, which results in difficulties in forming an Ag grading distribution across the absorber due to the strong thermal diffusion . Herein, we innovatively introduce a ZnO insert layer in the precursor film, which is expected to slow down the Ag-Cu interdiffusion during the selenization, thereby forming a desired front-graded bandgap. The Ag grading distribution in absorbers is regulated by the thickness of ZnO insert layer. The effects of ZnO insert layer on the phase compositions, morphologies, optical properties , and photovoltaic performance of Ag-doped kesterite absorbers are investigated.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) persists as the standard electron transport layer (ETL) in high-efficiency Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells. However, its narrow bandgap imposes critical performance limitations through parasitic short-wavelength absorption and interface mismatch. Here, this bottleneck is shattered through an innovative in situ ozone doping strategy. This approach revolutionizes CdS ETLs by simultaneously: 1) Widening the bandgap of CdS ETL to drastically suppress parasitic short-wavelength photon loss; 2) Triggering a hexagonal-to-cubic phase transition that disrupts coherent Sb 2 O 3 impurity growth during Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 deposition; and 3) Engineering an oxygen-rich, defect-resistant FTO/CdS interface (DFT-validated), thereby slashing recombination and enabling superior carrier extraction. As a result, a certified world-record power conversion efficiency of 9.0% for carbon-based Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cell is achieved ( V OC of 0.4908 V, J SC of 26.88 mA cm −2 , and FF of 68.19%) using an FTO/CdS:O/Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 /PbS/carbon configuration. This work, beyond setting a new benchmark for carbon-based Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells, shows that these devices demonstrate exceptional intrinsic stability under long-term and extreme damp-heat conditions without encapsulation, thus propelling Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 technology toward commercial viability.

Although trace silver (Ag) substitution for Cu in Cu 2 ZnSn(S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) offers benefits in improving open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of CZTSSe solar cells, its further development is still hindered by the fairly low short-circuit current density (J SC ) owing to the increase of bandgap (E g ) of the absorber layer . Herein, a strategy is demonstrated to mitigate the poor J SC arising from the Ag substitution by tuning the Cu 2+ /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) percentage in the (Cu, Ag) 2 ZnSnS 4 (CAZTS) precursor solution . Depth characterization indicates that the appropriate Cu 2+ /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) percentage in the CAZTS precursor solution increases the photogenerated charges separation and carrier transport processes for Ag-substituted CZTSSe (CAZTSSe) solar cells. Benefiting from this strategy, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.57% is achieved when the Cu 2+ /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) is 50 at.%. The main factor for the improvement of PCE is due to the increase in photogenerated current density (J L ) and decrease in shunt resistance (R sh ). It is demonstrated that the increase in J L results from a widening in the depletion layer width (W d ) of the p-n junction and an increase in carrier lifetime, induced by optimization of the Cu 2+ /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) percentage. While the decrease in R sh comes from the change of reaction pathways due to the change in Cu 2+ /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) percentage.

The removal of U(VI) and Se(IV) in an aqueous solution was investigated by batch experiments and characterized by spectroscopy techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, using FeS@h-BN nanocomposite which was synthesized by hexagonal BN (h-BN) as the stabilizer anchored onto FeS nanoparticles to address the agglomeration of the FeS. The effects of pH, adsorbent concentration, contact time, and initial concentration of U(VI) and Se(IV) on FeS@h-BN adsorption U(VI) and Se(IV) were studied. Results showed that FeS@h-BN nanocomposite showed an excellent decontamination performance due to the large surface area and surface potential. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model well reflected the kinetic adsorption of U(VI) and Se(IV) which indicated chemical interaction mainly contributed to U(VI) and Se(IV) adsorption on FeS@h-BN. The adsorption process of removing U(VI) fitted Freundlich and D-R models well which presented multilayer adsorption on the nanocomposite surface. The Langmuir model fitted well with sorption isotherm data of Se(IV) removal displaying a single monolayer reaction between Se(IV) and FeS@h-BN. The adsorption of U(VI) and Se(IV) was high pH-dependent since pH affected the FeS@h-BN nanocomposite surface potential and U(VI) and Se(IV) speciation. The maximum sorption capacity of U(VI) and Se(IV) reached 163.11 and 196.39 mg/g, respectively. These results reveal that FeS@h-BN nanocomposite could be promising for the effective decontamination of U(VI) and Se(IV).

Five types of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) films were fabricated by selenization of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) precursor films preparing through Cu-Zn-Sn-S precursor solutions with nominal Cu + /(Cu + +Cu 2+ ) ratio of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1. Five types of CZTSSe solar cells were prepared by using the five types of CZTSSe films as absorbers, respectively. The crystal quality and phase composition of the CZTS and CZTSSe films were characterized by XRD, Raman and SEM, and the photovoltaic performance for the CZTSSe solar cells were measured by J-V and EQE. It is found that the CZTS film consists of kesterite CZTS when the ratio is 0 and of kesterite CZTS together with a small amount of SnS when the ratio is 0.2 to 1. All of the CZTSSe films are comprised of kesterite CZTSSe and a small amount of Zn(S,Se). The crystal quality and lattice constants of the kesterite CZTSSe increase with increasing the ratio, while the amount of Zn(S,Se) decreases with increasing the ratio and almost to zero as the ratio is 1. The power conversion efficiency ( PCE ) of the CZTSSe solar cells increases from 5.47% to 8.43% as the ratio increases from 0 to 1, which is due to improvement in short-circuit current density ( J sc ) and filling factor ( FF ) and decrease in open circuit voltage deficit ( V oc , def ). The influence mechanism of the ratio on the PCE is suggested by analyzing effect of the ratio on electrical parameters of the CZTSSe solar cells.
