Fabrication and applications of nickel selenide

Abstract

This article presents synthetic strategies of different phases and morphologies of nickel selenide in terms of solid state reactions, solvothermal and hydrothermal processes, electrodeposition, precipitation reactions, colloidal synthesis, chemical bath deposition, chemical vapor deposition, solid liquid solution method and composite salt mediated methods. An insight for the applications of nickel selenide in solar cells, water splitting, super capacitors, urea conversion and glucose sensing has also been presented. - 2019 Elsevier Inc.
