“…However, the poor conductivity of NiCo 2 O 4 limits the electrocatalytic properties to a certain extent. Transition metal selenides (M x Se, M = Co, Ni and Fe) exhibit better electrocatalytic performance owing to their metal conductive features when compared with the oxides and sulfides [24][25][26][27][28] http://engine.scichina.com/doi/10.1016/j.jechem.2019.01.001 active sites exposed by electrocatalysts is important; this is adequately achieved by the porous structure [29][30][31] .…”

“…Metallic selenides (M x Se, M = Co, Ni, and Fe) have inherent conductive metal properties that ensure efficient electron transfer during electrocatalysis. Therefore, the catalytic properties of transition-metal oxides and transition-metal sulfides are more effective than those of the sulfides [132][133][134][135][136]. Zheng et al [137] synthesized Ni x Se (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1) nanocrystals with different crystal compositions by using rapid environmentalpressure thermal injection.…”

HIGHLIGHTS • The electrochemical properties of M x Se y (M = Fe, Co, Ni) and their Composites have been discussed. • The synthetic methods and morphologies have been summarized. • The future directions and application prospect of M x Se y (M = Fe, Co, Ni) and their composites are given. ABSTRACT Transition-metal selenides (M x Se y , M = Fe, Co, Ni) and their composites exhibit good storage capacities for sodium and lithium ions and occupy a unique position in research on sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries. M x Se y and their composites are used as active materials to improve catalytic activity. However, low electrical conductivity, poor cycle stability, and low rate performance severely limit their applications. This review provides a comprehensive introduction to and understanding of the current research progress of M x Se y and their composites. Moreover, this review proposes a broader research platform for these materials, including various bioelectrocatalytic performance tests, lithium-sulfur batteries, and fuel cells. The synthesis method and related mechanisms of M x Se y and their composites are reviewed, and the effects of material morphologies on their electrochemical performance are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of M x Se y and their composites as well as possible strategies for improving the storage and conversion of electrochemical energy are also summarized.

“…NiSeQD materials are thermodynamically stable and have good electrical conductivity for charge transfer and variable oxidation states [31][32][33]. When comparing nickel selenide to other chalcogenides (sulfides and tellurides), the selenide presents low resistivity and small bandgap properties, which enhance its catalytic properties [17,34].…”

“…However, this catalyst has been reported to have poor electronic conductivity, which limits its application in alkali conditioned systems [61][62][63]. To overcome this problem, different nanomaterials such as reduced graphene oxide (RGO), nickel foam (NF), cobalt sulfide (CoS), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been incorpo-rated into the matrix of NiSe [34,61,[63][64][65]. It is essential to highlight that modification of nanomaterials plays significant roles in enhancing the electrical conductivity, increasing stability, decreasing agglomeration, and increasing the catalytic properties of nanomaterials.…”

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting materials with diameters ranging from 2-10 nm. Amongst these QDs, nickel selenide quantum dot (NiSeQD) materials have gained much interest from researchers over the past few years due to their outstanding properties. These include excellent catalytic activity, good electrical conductivity for charge transfer, and excellent thermodynamic stability. NiSeQD material is relatively cheap, less toxic, and can be synthesised easily. Due to the fascinating and remarkable properties of NiSeQD, the material has been applied in various electrochemical fields, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and solar cells. This review focuses on the application of NiSeQD and its composites in the various analytical fields in the search for alternative renewable sources of energy. Interestingly, NiSeQD material can be modified with different materials to improve its sensitivity, reactivity, and limit of detection. The effects of modification with other materials such as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and graphene (GN) are mentioned. Additionally, the application of NiSeQD in glucose sensing is discussed briefly. In these aforementioned applications, NiSeQD has shown excellent electrocatalytic capability with satisfactory detection limits and good conductivity. Thus, further exploration of it to other fields is essential. This review highlights the importance of NiSeQD in water purification, and no report has been documented in the literature on its application in water purification. Some gaps are still open for the use of NiSeQD material as an electroactive platform for sensing devices in water treatment.
