CdSe nanoparticles enhanced TiO 2 nanotube arrays electrodes (CdSe/TNTAs) were explored as the photoanode for driving the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) generation of hydrogen and simultaneous degradation of organic pollutants in a PEC system. The evolution hydrogen and the simultaneous degradation of organic pollutants were performed in an electrolytic cell (three electrodes system) under visible-light ( λ > 400 nm). Such CdSe/TiO 2 based PEC system exhibited both high efficiency of hydrogen generation and effective oxidation of methyl orange (MO). Such high PEC performance of CdSe/TNTAs was attributed to the high dispersity of CdSe nanoparticles on both outside and inside of the pore walls of TiO 2 nanotube arrays, the strong combination and heterojunctions between CdSe and TiO 2 through Cd O bonds via electrodeposition with ion-exchange method.

We adopt inorganic semiconducting CdSe quantum dots (QDs) as a third component in the PTB7-Th:PC71BM-based organic solar cells due to their advantages of strong absorbance, high conductivity, and good solution processability. With the blending of low-dosage CdSe QDs, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) and power conversion efficiencies can be improved by 13% and 11%, respectively, in the ternary device. Compared with the control device, CdSe QDs can effectively modulate the charge dynamics and lead to enhanced fluorescence external quantum efficiency. Moreover, effective Förster resonance energy transfer and fast charge transfer can be observed in the CdSe QD-based bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) films, and therefore improve the overall performance of the organic photovoltaic devices. This work provides an effective method by adopting CdSe QDs to fabricate high-performance PTB7-Th:PC71BM BHJ solar cells.

Ligand-induced chirality in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals attracts attention because of their tunable chiroptical properties. Here, the induced chirality and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are investigated as a function of the CdS shell growth in a range of 2D CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets (NPLs) capped with chiral ligands. Five samples of CdSe/CdS NPLs are synthesized by a one-pot approach to vary the island-like shell on a four-monolayer (4 ML) CdSe NPLs core, which effectively reduces the interfacial strain energy. The successful preparation of L-/D-Cysteine-capped CdSe/CdS NPLs with both tunable circular dichroism (CD) and CPL behaviors and a maximum anisotropic luminance factor ( g lum ) of 5.29 × 10 −4 is described. The induced chiroptical response shows a direct relationship with the formation of island-like shell in the first and second stages and shows a clear signal evolution. In the third stage with a full coating shell, the CD and CPL signals are inversely proportional to the CdS shell thickness. The island-like shell gives birth to the CPL signal, while the formation of full coating shell decreases the induced chirality. Such chiral and emissive NPLs provide an ideal platform for the rational design of semiconductor nanocrystals with chiroptical properties in areas of biomedicine, polarizers, and new generation of display devices.

Heterojunction with nano-level interfacial contact has an advantage in improving the transfer capacity of photongenerated carriers. In consequence, a heterojunction composite with nano-level interfacial contact was developed by establishing CdSe/Al 2 TiO 5 heterojunction composites. The heterojunction composite was established by combining Al 2 TiO 5 and CdSe nanocrystals . They provided superior nano-level interfacial contact. The photocatalytic activity of heterojunction composites were illustrated to be significantly improved compared to that of pure Al 2 TiO 5 and CdSe nanocrystals. Moreover, the photocurrent intensity of heterojunction composites displays a several times enhancement, implying the promotion of photocatalytic activity was owned to the nano-level interfacial contact with ideal photogenerated electron-hole pairs transfer behavior.

The photocatalytic hydrogen production has become one of the most promising strategies to solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Novel CdSe/SrTiO 3 nanocomposites (average diameter ≈ 114.6 nm) with high photocatalytic activity are synthesized and used for visible light photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production . Through optimizing the concentration of CdSe QDs, CdSe/SrTiO 3 nanocomposites exhibit increased visible light absorption and enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency compared to SrTiO 3 nanoparticles. The maximum H 2 evolution amount reaches to 3350.53 μmol in 8 h by using CdSe/SrTiO 3 -3 as catalyst. Owing to the formation of heterojunction at the interface between CdSe and SrTiO 3 , the electrochemical impedance spectrum of CdSe/SrTiO 3 -3 exhibits the smallest arc radius and the photocurrent density of CdSe/SrTiO 3 -3 reaches to 0.26 μA cm −2 . The photogenerated electrons are effectively separated and transferred and the recombination of electron-hole pairs is avoided, thus significantly improving the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of CdSe/SrTiO 3 nanocomposites.

In this paper, we reported the enhanced thermoelectric properties of Cd and Sn dual-doped Cu 3 SbSe 4 -based material prepared by the vacuum melting combined with spark plasma sintering process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies revealed the presence of Cu + , Cd 2+ , Sb 5+ , Sn 4+ and Se 2− states of Cu, Cd, Sb, Sn and Se, respectively. All samples exhibited p -type conduction with carrier concentrations varying from 0.54 × 10 18 to 46.42 × 10 18 cm −3 , while carrier mobility changes from 18.2 to 46.6 cm 2 V −1 s −1 at room temperature. Cd doping at Cu sites in the Cu 3 SbSe 4 can reduce the lattice thermal conductivity, while Sn doping at Sb sites is effective to adjust the carrier concentration. The further reduction in thermal conductivity is observed in Cd-Sn co-doped samples resulting from an accumulated effect combining point defects and the secondary-phase CdSe. Consequently, the maximum dimensionless figure of merit ( ZT ) value reaches 0.66 at 623 K for the Cu 2.75 Cd 0.25 Sb 0.94 Sn 0.06 Se 4 sample, which is 190% larger than that of the intrinsic sample ( ZT of 0.35). The findings provide an alternative strategy of boosting the carrier and phonon transports of the Cu 3 SbSe 4 , which is also a meaningful guidance to achieve high performance in other copper-based chalcogenides.

SnO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method and applied to photo-electrodes of quantum dots-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). After sensitizing SnO 2 films via CdS quantum dots , CdSe quantum dots was decorated on the surface of CdS/SnO 2 photo-electrodes to further improve the power conversion efficiency. CdS and CdSe quantum dots were deposited by successive ionic layer absorption and reaction method (SILAR) and chemical bath deposition method (CBD) respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to identify the surface profile and crystal structure of SnO 2 photo-electrodes before and after deposited quantum dots. After CdSe co-sensitized process, an overall power conversion efficiency of 1.78% was obtained in CdSe/CdS/SnO 2 QDSSC, which showed 66.4% improvement than that of CdS/SnO 2 QDSSC.

In lignin valorization systems, CdSe@CdS nanorods exhibit exceptional photocatalytic performance, where precise control over the rates of oxidation and reduction reactions is crucial. This study introduces a ligand modulation strategy that involves the incorporation of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and hexafluorophosphate (PF₆⁻) onto the surface of the nanorods to achieve a balanced redox reaction profile. The inorganic PF₆⁻ ligand primarily promotes reduction reactions, whereas MPA enhances hole transfer. By optimizing the distribution ratio of these ligands, the study achieved a significant enhancement in photocatalytic efficiency, resulting in a 94 % conversion rate for 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol (PP-ol) and yields of 67 % and 66 % for phenol and acetophenone, respectively. The distinct roles of MPA and PF₆⁻ can be attributed to their respective spatial site resistances, electrostatic interactions, and surface passivation characteristics. MPA, with its larger spatial resistance, stabilizes and extends hole lifetimes, thereby enhancing hole transfer efficiency. In contrast, PF₆⁻ exhibits lower spatial resistance and stronger electrostatic effects, which facilitate accelerated electron transfer. Furthermore, the ligands optimize the transport pathways for both electrons and holes on the nanorod surface through passivation. This ligand design strategy provides valuable insights for the development of efficient nanorod photocatalysts aimed at biomass valorization.

The increasingly wide use of semiconductor nanocrystals inevitably leads to their release into aquatic environment. The aggregation behaviors of 3-mercaptopropionic acid-capped CdSe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (MPA-QDs) under various water chemistry conditions were examined and their removal using Fe 3+ and Al 3+ coagulants was evaluated. Cationic species rather than concentrations affected the stability of MPA-QDs. Adding 2 mM Ca 2+ led to a much larger ζ-potential decrease and particle size increase than adding 150 mM K + at each tested solution pH. This indicated that complexation and depletion of surface-bound carboxyl groups by divalent Ca 2+ has a more pronounced effect than compression of the electrical double layer by high concentrations of monovalent K + . The presence of humic acid increased the stability of MPA-QDs, which might increase negative surface charging via overcoating or bind to the surface of MPA-QDs. The nanoparticles exhibited similar aggregation kinetics patterns in tap water and seawater, but varying patterns in the lake water because of the co-existence of 2.3 mM total of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ . MPA-QDs (5 mg L −1 ) were readily coagulated by 2.4 mM Al 3+ or 1.2 mM Fe 3+ in tap water. Al 3+ and Fe 3+ can bind with carboxyl groups of the surface capping ligands, neutralize the negative charges on the surface of MPA-QDs and decrease the electrostatic repulsion forces to induce MPA-QDs aggregation. In addition, MPA-QDs could be bound with and wrapped into the flocs of hydrolysis products of coagulants. The results reported here could help broaden our understanding of the impacts and remediation of water-dispersed core-shell QD nanoparticles.

Two-dimensional colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) have been considered as ideal emitting materials for high performance light-emitting devices due to their excellent optical properties. However, the understanding of defect related radiative and nonradiative recombination centers in CdSe NPLs is still far from sufficient, especially their physical distribution locations. In this work, CdSe core and CdSe/CdS core/crown NPLs have been successfully synthesized and their optical properties have been characterized by laser spectroscopies. It is found that the photoluminescence quantum yield of CdSe NPLs is improved by a factor of 4 after the growth of the CdS crown. At low temperatures, the change in the ratio of low and high energy emission intensities from NPLs suggests that the radiative recombination centers are mainly located on the lateral surface of the samples. This finding is further confirmed by the surface passivation experiment. Meanwhile, the nonradiative recombination centers of NPLs located on the lateral surface are also confirmed by ligand exchange. These results demonstrate the importance of understanding the optical properties of the lateral surface of NPLs, which are important for the design of material structures for optoelectronic applications.

Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are regarded as one of the promising photocatalysts for CO2 reduction because of their unique optoelectronic properties. However, severe charge recombination and insufficient CO2 absorption/activation have limited photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, we report an efficient 0D/0D CsPbBr3/CdSe heterojunction consisting of CdSe QDs in situ grown on CsPbBr3 QDs for high-performance photocatalytic CO2 reduction using water as the electron donor in organic solution. The type-II 0D/0D heterojunction with the strong electronic coupling of Pb–Se and Br–Cd bonds between CdSe and CsPbBr3 facilitates fast electron transfer. Moreover, the specific abundant edge- and corner-sites of CdSe accelerate the CO generation by forming a Cd–C2O4− adduct, enabling superior CO2 activation capacity and efficient CO2 conversion into CO. Consequently, assisted by water to provide electrons and protons, the yield of main product CO reaches 115.26 μmol g−1, which is 4.6-fold higher than that of pristine CsPbBr3. This study is expected to provide a new way to fabricate high-performance perovskite-based catalysts in the field of photocatalysis.

For the first time, a reproducible surface plasmon-enhanced optical sensor for the detection of gaseous formaldehyde was proposed, which was fabricated by depositing a mixture of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs), fumed silica (FS), and gold nanoparticles (GNs) on the surface of a silica sphere array to meet the urgent requirement of a rapid, sensitive, and highly convenient formaldehyde detection method. Because of the spectral overlap between QDs and GNs, plasmon-enhanced fluorescence was observed in the film of QDs/FS/GNs. When exposed to formaldehyde molecules, the enhanced fluorescence was quenched linearly with the increase of formaldehyde concentration in the range of 0.5–2.0 ppm. The reason is attributed to the nonradiative electron transfer from QDs to the carbonyl of formaldehyde molecules with the assistance of amino groups. Our results demonstrate that the designed sensors are capable of detecting ultralow concentration gaseous formaldehyde at room temperature with a fast response–recovery time and excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. This work provides a simple and low-cost approach for optical formaldehyde sensor fabrication and shows promising applications in environmental detection.
