Flaky nano-crystalline SnSe(2) thin films for photoelectrochemical current generation

We report chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and photoelectrochemical properties of large-area thin films of nano-crystalline SnSe(2) on conducting FTO glass. We show that densely packed, randomly oriented SnSe(2) nanoflakes can be grown by reacting vapors of tin monoselenide (SnSe) and selenium at 550...

description We report chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and photoelectrochemical properties of large-area thin films of nano-crystalline SnSe(2) on conducting FTO glass. We show that densely packed, randomly oriented SnSe(2) nanoflakes can be grown by reacting vapors of tin monoselenide (SnSe) and selenium at 550 °C without compromising the electrical properties of FTO. We demonstrate that SnSe(2)/FTO is photoelectrochemically active in visible to near-UV wavelengths (350–700 nm) and exhibits incident-photon-to-current-efficiency (IPCE) as high as 3.7% at 0 V versus the Ag/AgCl/1 M KCl reference electrode under 350 nm light illumination.
