“…Sb 2 Se 2 is a semiconductor material with good optical, electrical, structural, and even magnetic properties, with an earthly abundance of 0.2 ppm Sb and 0.05 ppm Se elements. Sb 2 Se 3 belongs to the family of inorganic binary group V 2 -VI 3 semiconductor materials, mostly referred to as the metal chalcogenides, and has less structural complexity, consists of layered chalcogenide semiconductor that has attracted considerable interest, mainly due to its exceptional thermoelectric [6] and photovoltaic properties, and can be used as photodetectors [7,8]. It has energy bandgaps between 1.10 eV and 1.30 eV, exhibiting band gap tunability property, high optical absorption (>10 5 cm −1 ), high saturated vapor pressure, and low melting point (885 K) [2,5].…”
