General description

Antimony(III) selenide (Sb2Se3) is a ribboned non-toxic and low-cost material with a band gap of ~1.1 eV. Its properties include switching effects, good photovoltaic and thermoelectric properties. It can be prepared in the form of thin films by a number of methods such as vacuum evaporation, solution growth, spray pyrolysis and direct fusion of antimony and selenium.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Sb2Se3 is a semiconducting material that can be used in a variety of applications such as lithium ion batteries, photovoltaic cells, solar cells, high performance field effect emitters, and photodetectors.(6)

Articles

Thermoelectric materials comprise a wide range of solid compounds distinguished by their ability to convert thermal and electrical energy.

Professor Ebrahimi and Professor Robinson (Pennsylvania State University, USA) summarize recent advances in the synthesis of these 2D materials, resulting material properties, and related applications in biosensing of neurotransmitters, metabolites, proteins, nucleic acids, bacterial cells, and heavy metals.

Higher transition metal silicides are very well-suited for anisotropic thermoelectric conversion. Essential anisotropy of the Seebeck coefficient, together with good mechanical properties, allows production of reliable anisotropic thermoelectric converters.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
