Bismuth selenide (Bi 2 Se 3 ) has attracted great attention as one of typical topological insulator materials. In this work, size-controllable Bi 2 Se 3 nanoflowers (NFs) composed of numerous thin nanosheets are successfully synthesized by a hot-solution injection method under mild conditions. The structure and morphology of the obtained Bi 2 Se 3 NFs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques. The reaction temperature, time, and surfactant ratio (oleylamine/oleic acid) affect the phase purity and morphology of Bi 2 Se 3 samples. Based on the experimental results, the formation mechanism of Bi 2 Se 3 nanoflowers is proposed. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic behavior of the as-prepared Bi 2 Se 3 nanoflowers in the presence of H 2 O 2 is explored and it is found that the degrading rate of RhB can reach 93% after 2 h visible light irradiation.

CdSe nanocrystals, including quantum dots and quantum rods, are a research hotspot in nanomaterials. Recently, it has been found that two-dimensional CdSe semiconductor nanobelts show a unique quantum confinement effect owing to their homogeneous nanoscale thickness. In this study, a series of (CdSe)n·monoamine (n = 1, 2, and 4, monoamine = butylamine, hexylamine, and octylamine) layered inorganic/organic hybrid nanobelts was synthesized by the solvothermal method. These hybrids have a lamellar structure with a few inorganic [CdSe] layers and monoamine layers alternatively stacked along the c axis of their crystallites, which exhibit the typical preferred orientation for layered crystallites and isomorphous [CdSe] layers according to their X-ray diffraction patterns. The [CdSe] layer is a contracted (110) superlattice cell of wurtzite (WZ)-type CdSe with unit cell parameter relations of a ≈ √3aWZ and b ≈ cWZ, and a lamellar nanobelt morphology with the [010] growth direction. These ordered hybrids exhibit prominent split exciton absorption peaks and sharp band edge luminescence owing to the homogeneous thickness of the [CdSe] layers within the hybrids, all of which are comparable with reported WZ-type CdSe colloidal nanosheets and exhibit a prominent two-dimensional exciton quantum confinement effect. The solvothermal reaction was systematically investigated. The multiple stage amine de-intercalation topotactic process was revealed for the WZ-type CdSe nanobelts with the (CdSe)n·monoamine (n = 1, 2, and 4) hybrids as the intermediate phases. The solvothermal synthesis method (70–150 °C) is facile and milder than the traditional hot injection method (>200 °C). Therefore, these hybrids can be considered to be intermediate phases or precursors of WZ-type CdSe nanosheets with a topotactic intralayer [CdSe] structure and also a type of multiple quantum well with extremely thin [CdSe] layers orderly stacked among the monoamine insulating blocking layers.

TiO 2 nanoparticles (NP) at top of TiO 2 nanotube (TiO 2 NP@TiO 2 NT) double-layered architecture is constructed to combine the advantages of TiO 2 NP and TiO 2 NT together. This composite TiO 2 NP@TiO 2 NT architecture as photoanode possesses a larger surface area for more QDs loading, and highly tubular structure for electron swift transport. Based on this architecture, CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) have been successfully synthesized by successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) method for quantum dots-sensitized solar cell application. The photovoltaic performance of QDSSCs based on TiO 2 NP@TiO 2 NT have been investigated in contrast with bare TiO 2 NP and bare TiO 2 NT architectures with almost the same thickness. The results show that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of QDSSCs could be enhanced using TiO 2 NP@TiO 2 NT and improved to 3.26%, which is 80% and 38% higher than QDSSCs based on bare TiO 2 NT and bare TiO 2 NP, respectively. The BET surface area, UV–vis absorption spectra, and incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) measurements results show the evidence that the TiO 2 NP@TiO 2 NT can combine advantages of TiO 2 NP and TiO 2 NT structures together and lead to a higher light harvesting efficiency, electron collecting efficiency, and efficient electron transport.

Few-layered MoSe 2 nanosheets with mixed 1T/2H phase were successfully arrayed on a Ti substrate (forming 1T@2H-MoSe 2 /Ti) through a facile one-step solvothermal process. After testing different synthesis conditions, it was found that the optimal process involves a temperature of 200 °C and a reaction time of 12 h. Structural characterizations reveal that the morphology of 1T@2H-MoSe 2 consists of edge-terminated nanosheets with one to five layers, composed of a mixed 1T/2H phase dominated by the 1T one. The 1T@2H-MoSe 2 /Ti electrode shows excellent HER catalytic activity, with a small onset potential (−120 mV vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) and an electrode potential of only −133 mV (vs. RHE) to achieve a current density of 20 mA·cm −2 . This excellent electrocatalytic activity is due to the synergistic effects of 1T metallic phase, few-layered nanosheet morphology, and direct growth of 1T@2H-MoSe 2 on the Ti substrate. In addition, the 1T@2H-MoSe 2 /Ti electrode shows excellent stability towards long-term electrolysis. This is due to the long-term stability of the valence states of Mo and Se, as shown by post-electrolysis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.

Developing electrode materials with a full conversion reaction is an effective route to break through the capacity barriers, but this goal remains a great challenge. In this work, we report the synthesis of CoSe2 anodes with a quasi-reversible conversion reaction by uniformly encapsulating CoSe2 nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (CoSe2/N-CNFs). The space-confined effect of CNFs effectively inhibits pulverization and amorphization of CoSe2 during charge and discharge and thus remarkably ensures the integrity of the crystal structure. Meanwhile, pseudocapacitive contributed by the size effect of CoSe2 nanodots and excellent conductivity due to doped nitrogen heteroatoms give the electrode outstanding electrochemical properties. When used as an anode, the CoSe2/N-CNFs achieved a reversible capacity of 371.8 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 0.2 A g−1. Even at a high current density of 2 A g−1, the discharge capacity of the CoSe2/N-CNFs still reached 308 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles with excellent rate performance. The first principles calculations demonstrate that the heterointerfaces between CoSe2 and nitrogen-doped carbon can significantly enhance the stability of the structure and improve the storage/diffusion capability of Na+. Moreover, ex situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) reveal that the unique structure enables quasi-reversible crystalline-phase transformation of CoSe2, which leads to the superior cycling stability of the battery with high capacity retention.

In this work, we report the discovery of a new Ni-based quasi-one-dimensional selenide: Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3. This compound adopts the TlFe3Te3-type structure with space group P63/m, which consists of infinite [Ni3Se3] chains with face-sharing Ni6 octahedra along the c direction. The lattice parameters are calculated as a = 9.26301(4) Å and c = 4.34272(2) Å, with the Ni–Ni distance in the ab plane as 2.582(3) Å, suggesting the formation of a Ni–Ni metallic bond in this compound. Interestingly, it has been found that Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3 is nonstoichiometric, which is different from the other TlFe3Te3-type phases reported so far. Structure refinement shows that the extra Ni atom in the structure may occupy the 2c site, together with Cs atoms. Cs0.9Ni3.1Se3 shows metallic behavior with monotonously decreased resistivity with temperatures from 300 to 0.5 K. Measurements on the magnetic susceptibility display a spin-glass state below 7 K. The specific heat curve gives a Sommerfeld coefficient of 14.6 mJ·K–2·mol–1 and a Debye temperature of 143.6 K. The discovery of this new compound enriches the diversity of low-dimensional materials in a transition-metal-based family and also sheds light on the structure–property relationship of this system.

A facile process was developed for the synthesis of FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres based on the hydrothermal treatment of FeCl3·6H2O, selenium and NaBH4 in ethanolamine solvent, followed by reducing HPtCl4 with NaBH4 in the presence of FeSe particles to obtain FeSe coated with Pt NPs (FeSe–Pt), ending with a surfactant assembled sol–gel process to obtain FeSe–Pt@SiO2. The morphology and composition of FeSe–Pt@SiO2 were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, high resolution TEM, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Structural analyses revealed that FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres were of regular spherical shape with smooth surfaces due to the SiO2 shells, compared with FeSe particles with 150 nm lateral diameter. The prepared FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres possessed both intrinsic glucose oxidase (GOx-) and peroxidase-mimic activities, and we engineered an artificial enzymatic cascade system with high activity and stability based on this nanostructure. The good catalytic performance of the composites could be attributed to the synergy between the functions of FeSe particles and Pt NPs. Significantly, the FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres as robust nanoreactors can catalyze a self-organized cascade reaction, which includes oxidation of glucose by oxygen to yield gluconic acid and H2O2, and then oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to produce a colour change. Colorimetric detection of H2O2 and glucose using the FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres was conducted with high detection sensitivities, 0.227 nM and 1.136 nM, respectively, demonstrating the feasibility of practical sensing applications. It is therefore believed that our findings in this study could open up the possibility of utilizing FeSe–Pt@SiO2 nanospheres as enzymatic mimics in diagnostic and biotechnology fields.

Water-soluble CuInSe2/ZnS (CISe/ZnS) and AgInSe2/ZnS (AISe/ZnS) core/shell quantum dots (QDs) on a multigram scale have been synthesized by using gelatin and thioglycolic acid as dual stabilizers in an electric pressure cooker. The core/shell QDs present composition-tunable emission in the range of 582 nm to 686 nm with a maximum PLQY of 23.3%. The core/shell QDs also exhibit good water/buffer stability. The red-emitting CISe/ZnS QDs are applied as wavelength converters to achieve warm white light-emitting diodes.

Solution deposition approaches play an important role in reducing the manufacturing cost of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin film solar cells. Here, we present a novel precursor-based solution approach to fabricate highly efficient CZTSe solar cells. In this approach, low-cost elemental Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se powders were simultaneously dissolved in the solution of thioglycolic acid and ethanolamine, forming a homogeneous CZTSe precursor solution to deposit CZTSe nanocrystal thin films. Based on high-quality CZTSe absorber layer, pure selenide CZTSe solar cell with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 8.02% has been achieved without antireflection coating.

We have developed an aqueous synthesis for glutathione capped ZnSe nanocrystals. The structure and optical properties of the obtained ZnSe nanocrystals were characterised by X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering analysis, TEM, ultraviolet–visible, photoluminescence spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The ZnSe shows a cubic zincblende crystal phase and has a narrow size distribution. Experimental results indicate that the pH value and reaction time play crucial roles in determining optical features. With the pH increasing from 10 to 12, and reaction time from 0 to 2 h, the fluorescence emissions of ZnSe nanocrystals are tuneable between 360 and 405 nm. The high quantum yields are calculated to be in the range of 0·3–22%. Furthermore, the luminescence intensity can be enhanced significantly when the nanocrystal sample is illuminated by room light. The mechanism for the resulting high quality optical properties is also elucidated.

Aqueous solution deposition of metal chalcogenide semiconductor thin films is considered a green and low-cost approach. However, it is hard to find a general aqueous solution approach to deposit various kinds of high-quality metal sulfide thin films. Here, we describe a green and robust ammonium thioglycolate aqueous solution approach, and fifteen types of metal sulfide precursor solutions (metal = Cu, Zn, Sn, Ge, In, Sb, Mg, Cd, Mn, Bi, Fe, Ni, Li, Na, K) can be prepared using metal oxides or metal hydroxides as raw materials at room temperature under an air atmosphere. Moreover, elemental sulfur and selenium can also be highly dissolved. By this green route, high quality CZTS nanocrystal thin films can be deposited by directly coating the mixed Cu, Zn, and Sn precursor solutions without the need for complex nanocrystal synthesis. The remarkable power conversion efficiency of 6.62% was achieved, which is the highest value for aqueous solution deposited CZTSSe thin film solar cells.

In this paper, we report a facile, low-cost synthesis of Cu2Sn(SxSe1−x)3 colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) by heating a mixture of metal salts, sulfur powder, selenium powder, oleylamine and dodecanethiol. The composition of the Cu2Sn(SxSe1−x)3 NCs could be tuned across the x range from 0 to 1 by modulating the molar ratio of the S/Se precursors. The lattice parameters (a and c) of the Cu2Sn(SxSe1−x)3 NCs, calculated from X-ray diffraction patterns, were consistent with Vegard's law, confirming the formation of homogeneous nanocrystals. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results indicated that the as-prepared Cu2Sn(SxSe1−x)3 NCs had a monoclinic structure. The UV-visible absorption spectra of the Cu2Sn(SxSe1−x)3 NCs revealed that the band gap of the nanocrystals could be tailored from 1.55 to 1.87 eV by decreasing the Se content. Additionally, compared with the more commonly used hot injection method, the procedure developed here is highly suitable for large-scale colloidal nanocrystal production, which we tested by performing a gram-scale synthesis.
