Zinc selenide nano- and microspheres via microwave-assisted ionothermal synthesis

Abstract

Zinc selenide nanospheres were prepared from a diphenyl diselenide precursor and halozincate(ii) ionic liquids via a microwave-assisted ionothermal route.

Exploration of metal sulfide syntheses and the dissolution process of antimony sulfide in phosphonium-based ionic liquids

“…We first attempted the controlled synthesis of sulfides of main group and transition metals starting from the elements. As IL, [P 66614 ]Cl was chosen because the commercially available product can be purified 10 and it had already demonstrated good solvent properties in the synthesis of metal phosphides, 8 selenides, 14,53–55 and tellurides. 10 The following elements were tested: B, Bi, Ge, Mo, Cu, Au, Sn, In, Ti, V, Fe, Co, Ga, Ni, Al, Zn, Sb.…”

Cobalt selenide decorated polyaniline composite nanofibers as a newer counter electrode for dye‐sensitized solar cell

“…Therefore, cobalt selenide (CoSe) is one of the best TMCs, because Co has good electrochemical properties while Se has a lower electronegative than other chalcogen and this combination will provide more reactive sites for the redox process and improve the efficiency of solar cells. Methods such as hot injection method, 35 microwave radiation method, 36 hydrothermal method, 37 and so on apply to prepare of CoSe. Among these, a hydrothermal method is highly preferable because of its easy procedure, large‐scale synthesis, highly reactive even in low‐temperature sintering, and so on.…”

Easily Accessible Rare-Earth-Containing Phosphonium Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids: EXAFS, Luminescence, and Magnetic Properties

“…Transition metals such as Co, Zn, and many others have also been used to obtain metal-containing ILs. − Lin et al have reviewed some of these metal-containing ILs with imidazolium used as cation . Another example of metal-containing ILs is deep-eutectic-solvents with metals incorporated as anions or cations, first introduced by Abbott et al Yoshida et al reported in 2005 room-temperature (RT) ILs containing iron­(III) ions based on 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cations.…”

“…The magnetic properties of these compounds were investigated and single ion magnet behaviour at low temperatures was observed. A series of eleven new rare-earth-containing ionic liquids based on [La(NO 3 ) 6 ] 3-were reported by Ji et al 26 The ionic liquids have the composition ([C n Mim] 3 [La(NO 3 ) 6 ] (n = 1, 2, 4, 6,8,12,14,16,18). These ILs are water-free, which avoids issues with luminescence quenching.…”
