Photoelectrochemical study of ZnIn2Se4 electrodes fabricated using selenization of RF magnetron sputtered Zn–In metal precursors

Visible‐Light‐Driven Cleavage of C−O Linkage for Lignin Valorization to Functionalized Aromatics

“…Our powderX RD studies show that the XRD patterns of Zn m In 2 S m + 3 samples presents imilarp rofiles and all diffractionp eaks can be indexed to ah exagonal wurtzite crystal lattice ( Figure S2 in the SupportingI nformation). [31,32] TEM images of the Zn m In 2 S m + 3 samples all display aggregative nanosheet morphology (Figure 1b and Figure S3 in the Supporting Information). [31,32] TEM images of the Zn m In 2 S m + 3 samples all display aggregative nanosheet morphology (Figure 1b and Figure S3 in the Supporting Information).…”

“…[30] With an increase of the Zn/In atomic ratio in Zn m In 2 S m + 3 ,the position of the (0 06)peak shifted slightly to ah ighera ngle ( Figure S2 in the Supporting Information);t his may be owing to the more compact layered structureo fZ n m In 2 S m + 3 ,w hichi sc aused by the ionic radius of Zn 2 + (0.74 )b eing smaller than that of In 3 + (0.76 ). [31,32] TEM images of the Zn m In 2 S m + 3 samples all display aggregative nanosheet morphology ( Figure 1b and Figure S3 in the Supporting Information). In the case of Zn 4 In 2 S 7 ,f or example, the Zn 4 In 2 S 7 nanosheets display am ultilayered structure (Figure 1c).…”

Copper zinc tin sulfide as a catalytic material for counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells

“…As the [Zn] content is increased, the crystal structure of the lm would change from particle to plate. 52 Thus, the structural properties were predominantly inuenced by both the [Cu] and [Zn] contents. Since sample (C) has less defects compared to other samples, this would give rise to a more uniform grain with a dense surface, as shown by a plane view FE-SEM image in Fig.…”

Photoelectrochemical water splitting using Cu(In,Al)Se2 photoelectrodes developed via selenization of sputtered Cu–In–Al metal precursors

“…Some studies have reported that multi-component metal sulfides/selenides with similar photocatalytic activities have higher stability in electrolytes than that of binary metal sulfides/selenides in electrolytes [10,14,15]. PEC Contents lists available at ScienceDirect journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/solmat water splitting using various multi-component metal selenide semiconductors, such as Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 [11], AgInSe 2 [10], ZnInSe 2 [16], and Cu-Zn-Sn-Se [17] as photoelectrodes has been reported. Khaselev and Turner [18] reported that p-type semiconductors are more stable than n-type semiconductors in aqueous electrolyte because the reduction reaction is taking place at the surface of ptype semiconductor under illumination.…”
