Voltammetric Study of Selenium and Two-Stage Electrodeposition of Photoelectrochemically Active Zinc Selenide Semiconductor Films in Ionic Liquid Zinc Chloride-1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride

Abstract: Ionic liquid zinc chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (IL ZnCl 2 -EMICl) with a ZnCl 2 /EMICl ratio of 40/60 mol% was used as the electrolyte to study the voltammetric behavior of Se(IV) introduced into the IL as selenium chloride (SeCl 4 ) or selenium oxide (SeO 2 ). The electrodeposition of ZnSe was performed using constant-potential electrolysis at tungsten electrodes via a two-stage approach from the IL with and without SeO 2 . The nucleation mechanism of Se at the tungsten electrodes agrees bett… Show more

“…On the other hand, it was difficult to identify the reaction for the cathodic current peak C2 at about −1.6 V, which may be related to reduction of some oxychloro species of Se because of the high reactivity of SeCl 4 with moisture. 8 The similar cathodic current peak was also observed in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate containing SeCl 4 .…”

“…8 Recently, selenium electrodeposition has been studied in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium and 1-ethyl-3-methylimdazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate containing H 2 SeO 3 with H 2 O as a co-solvent (5 vol%) in open air conditions at various temperatures. 25,26 In situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry of diethyl selenite in 1-propyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide revealed deposition of amorphous selenium consisting of Se 8 rings and polymeric Se chains.…”

“…As a p-type semiconductor with bandgap of 1.9 eV at room temperature, 1 the trigonal selenium thin film have received considerable attentions due to the excellent opto-electrical properties. [2][3][4] In addition, the selenium-based semiconductor compounds, including Sb 2 Se 3 , 5 CuInSe 2 6 and ZnSe, 7 have also been widely applied in solar cell owning to their direct optical transition and high absorption coefficient. Many fabrication techniques have been developed to obtain these semiconductor thin films such as vacuum deposition, 8 chemical bath deposition, 9 chemical vapor deposition 10 and electrodeposition.…”
