Accessing copper selenide nanostructures through a 1D coordination polymer of copper(ii) with 4,4′-dipyridyldiselenide as a molecular precursor

Abstract

Copper selenide nanostructures have attracted growing attention due to their potential application in cost effective and sustainable solar cells and photocatalysis. This account describes the facile conversion of new one...
