SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2302721. [PMID: 37254267 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202302721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Antimony chalcogenide, Sb2X3 (X = S, Se), applications greatly benefit from efficient charge transport along covalently bonded (001) oriented (Sb4X6)n ribbons, making thin film orientation control highly desirable - although particularly hard to achieve experimentally. Here, it is shown for the first time that substrate nanostructure plays a key role in driving the growth of (001) oriented antimony chalcogenide thin films. Vapor Transport Deposition of Sb2Se3 thin films is conducted on ZnO substrates whose morphology is tuned between highly nanostructured and flat. The extent of Sb2Se3 (001) orientation is directly correlated to the degree of substrate nanostructure. These data showcase that nanostructuring a substrate is an effective tool to control the orientation and morphology of Sb2Se3 films. The optimized samples demonstrate high (001) crystallographic orientation. A growth mechanism for these films is proposed, wherein the substrate physically restricts the development of undesirable crystallographic orientations. It is shown that the surface chemistry of the nanostructured substrates can be altered and still drive the growth of (001) Sb2Se3 thin films - not limiting this phenomenon to a particular substrate type. Insights from this work are expected to guide the rational design of Sb2X3 thin film devices and other low-dimensional crystal-structured materials wherein performance is intrinsically linked to morphology and orientation.

Abstract
In this study, a novel synthesis of ultrathin, highly uniform colloidal bismuth sulfohalide (BiSX where X = Cl, Br, I) nanowires (NWs) and NW bundles (NBs) for room-temperature and solution-processed flexible photodetectors are presented. High-aspect-ratio bismuth sulfobromide (BiSBr) NWs are synthesized via a heat-up method using bismuth bromide and elemental S as precursors and 1-dodecanethiol as a solvent. Bundling of the BiSBr NWs occurs upon the addition of 1-octadecene as a co-solvent. The morphologies of the BiSBr NBs are easily tailored from sheaf-like structures to spherulite nanostructures by changing the solvent ratio. The optical bandgaps are modulated from 1.91 (BiSCl) and 1.88 eV (BiSBr) to 1.53 eV (BiSI) by changing the halide compositions. The optical bandgap of the ultrathin BiSBr NWs and NBs exhibits blueshift, whose origin is investigated through density functional theory-based first-principles calculations. Visible-light photodetectors are fabricated using BiSBr NWs and NBs via solution-based deposition followed by solid-state ligand exchanges. High photo-responsivities and external quantum efficiencies (EQE) are obtained for BiSBr NW and NB films even under strain, which offer a unique opportunity for the application of the novel BiSX NWs and NBs in flexible and environmentally friendly optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Photodetectors (PDs) rapidly capture optical signals and convert them into electrical signals, making them indispensable in a variety of applications including imaging, optical communication, remote sensing, and biological detection. Recently, antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has achieved remarkable progress due to its earth-abundant, low toxicity, low price, suitable bandgap width, high absorption coefficient, and unique structural characteristics. Sb2Se3 has been extensively studied in solar cells, but there's a lack of timely updates in the field of PDs. A literature review based on Sb2Se3 PDs is urgently warranted. This review aims to provide a concise understanding of the latest progress in Sb2Se3 PDs, with a focus on the basic characteristics and the performance optimization for Sb2Se3 photoconductive-type and photodiode-type detectors, including nanostructure regulation, process optimization, and stability improvement of flexible devices. Furthermore, the application progresses of Sb2Se3 PDs in heart rate monitoring, and monolithic-integrated matrix images are introduced. Finally, this review presents various strategies with potential and feasibility to address challenges for the rapid development and commercial application of Sb2Se3 PDs.

Abstract
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) is a suitable candidate for a broadband photodetector owing to its remarkable optoelectronic properties. Achieving a high-performance self-powered photodetector through a desirable heterojunction still needs more efforts to explore. In this work, we demonstrate a broadband photodetector based on the hybrid heterostructure of Sb2Se3 nanorod arrays (NRAs) absorber and polymer acceptor (P(NDI2OD-T2), N2200). Owing to the well-matched energy levels between N2200 and Sb2Se3, the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes in N2200/Sb2Se3 hybrid heterostructure is greatly inhibited. The photodetector can detect the wavelength from 405 to 980 nm, and exhibit high responsivity of 0.39 A/W and specific detectivity of 1.84 × 1011 Jones at 780 nm without bias voltage. Meanwhile, ultrafast response rise time (0.25 ms) and fall time (0.35 ms) are obtained. Moreover, the time-dependent photocurrent of this heterostructure-based photodetector keeps almost the same value after the storge for 40 days, indicating the excellent stability and reproducibility. These results demonstrate the potential application of a N2200/Sb2Se3 NRAs heterojunction in visible-near-infrared photodetectors.

Abstract
The upsurge of new materials that can be used for near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors operated without cooling is crucial. As a novel material with a small bandgap of ≈0.28 eV, the topological crystalline insulator SnTe has attracted considerable attention. Herein, this work demonstrates self-driven NIR photodetectors based on SnTe/Si and SnTe:Si/Si heterostructures. The SnTe/Si heterostructure has a high detectivity D* of 3.3 × 1012 Jones. By Si doping, the SnTe:Si/Si heterostructure reduces the dark current density and increases the photocurrent by ≈1 order of magnitude simultaneously, which improves the detectivity D* by ≈2 orders of magnitude up to 1.59 × 1014 Jones. Further theoretical analysis indicates that the improved device performance may be ascribed to the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), in which doped Si atoms break the inversion symmetry and thus enable the generation of additional photocurrents beyond the heterostructure. In addition, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) measured at room temperature at 850 nm increases by a factor of 7.5 times, from 38.5% to 289%. A high responsivity of 1979 mA W-1 without bias and fast rising time of 8 µs are also observed. The significantly improved photodetection achieved by the Si doping is of great interest and may provide a novel strategy for superior photodetectors.

Abstract
Flexible optoelectronics have garnered considerable interest for applications such as optical communication, motion capture, biosignal detection, and night vision. Transition-metal dichalcogenides are widely used as flexible photodetectors owing to their outstanding electrical and optical properties and high flexibility. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) Sb2Se3 film-based one transistor-one resistor (1T1R) flexible photodetector with high photosensing current and detection ranges from visible to near-infrared was developed. The flexible 1T1R was fabricated using an efficient field-effect transistor platform with the 2D Sb2Se3 film directly deposited on the sensing region using a low-temperature plasma-assisted chemical vapor reaction. The photodetector could achieve a maximum Iphoto/Idark of 15,000 under white light with a power density of 26 mW/cm2, in which the photodetector showed quick rising and falling response times of 0.16 and 0.28 s, respectively. The 2D Sb2Se3 film exhibits broadband absorption in the visible and IR regions, yielding an excellent photoresponse under laser illumination with different wavelengths. To investigate the flexibility and stability of the 1T1R photodetector, the photoresponses were measured under different bending cycles and curvatures, which maintained its functions and exhibited high stability under convex and concave bending at a curvature radius of 20 mm.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials have been proposed as alternatives to silicon-based field-effect transistor (FET) channel materials in order to overcome the scaling limitation. In the present research, gate-all-around (GAA) Sb2Se3 nanowire FETs were simulated using the ab initio quantum transport method. The gate-length (Lg, Lg = 5 nm) GAA Sb2Se3 FETs with an underlap (UL, UL = 2, 3 nm) could satisfy the on-state current (Ion) and delay time (τ) of the 2028 requirements for high performance (HP) applications of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) 2013. It is interesting that the Lg = 3 nm GAA Sb2Se3 FETs with a UL = 3 nm can meet the Ion, power dissipation (PDP), and τ of the 2028 requirements of ITRS 2013 for HP applications. Therefore, GAA Sb2Se3 FETs can be a potential candidate scaling Moore's law downward to 3 nm.

Abstract
In the present investigation Sn1-β Sb β Se crystals are grown using the direct vapor transport method. The crystals after growth were analyzed by EDAX and XPS to confirm the elemental composition. The surface morphological properties were studied by scanning electron microscope, confirming a flat surface and layered growth of the Sn1-β Sb β Se crystals. The structural properties studied by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy confirm the orthorhombic structure of the grown Sn1-β Sb β Se crystals. The Raman spectroscopic measurements evince the presence of B2g and Ag vibration modes. The PL intensity peak at ∼400 nm to 500 nm confirms the energy band gap. The indirect energy band gap of 1.18 eV was evaluated using Tauc plot by employing UV-visible spectroscopy making it a promising candidate for optoelectronic and photonic applications. The pulse photo response of pure and doped samples was studied under a monochromatic source of wavelength 670 nm and intensity of 30 mW cm-2 at zero biasing voltage firstly on day one and then the same samples were preserved for 50 days and the stability of the photodetectors was observed. Photodetector parameters such as rise time, decay time, photocurrent, responsivity, sensitivity, and detectivity were observed, and evaluated results are presented in this article.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type devices provide promising ways for harvesting solar energy and converting it to electric and chemical energy with a low-cost and simple manufacturing process. However, the high light absorption, fast carrier separation, and low carrier recombination are still great challenges in reaching high performance for PEC devices. As emergent two-dimensional (2D) materials, Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3 exhibit desirable photoelectric properties due to the narrow bandgap, large optical absorption, and high carrier mobility. Herein, Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 heterojunction is synthesized by a two-step physical vapor deposition method. The type-II Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 heterojunction displays excellentphotoelectric properties such as a high photocurrent density (Iph ∼ 162 µA cm-2), a high photoresponsivity (Rph ∼ 3700 µA W-1), and a fast time response speed (rising time ∼ 2 ms and falling time ∼ 4.5 ms) even in harsh environment (H2SO4 electrolyte). Especially, the Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 shows an excellent self-powered photoresponse (Iph ∼ 40 µA cm-2, Rph ∼ 850 µA W-1). This increment is attributed to the improvement in light absorption, charge separation, and charge transfer efficiency. Taking these advantages, the Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 heterojunction also exhibits higher PEC water splitting synergically, which is approximately 3 times larger than that of Sb2Se3 and Sb2S3. These results pave the way for high-performance PEC devices by integrating 2D narrow bandgap semiconductors.

Abstract
Exploration, utilization, and protection of marine resources are of great significance to the survival and development of mankind. However, currently classical optical cameras suffer information loss, low contrast, and color distortion due to the absorption and scattering nature for the underwater environment. Here, we demonstrate an underwater multispectral computational imaging system combined with single-photodetector imaging algorithm technology and a CdS/Sb2Se3 heterojunction photodetector. The computational imaging technology coupled with an advanced Fourier algorithm can capture a scene by a single photodetector without spatial resolution that avoids the need to rely on high-density detectors array and bulky optical components in traditional imaging systems. This convenient computational imaging method provides more flexible possibilities for underwater imaging and promises to give more imaging capabilities (such as multispectral imaging, antiscattering imaging capability) to meet ever-changing demand of underwater imaging. In addition, the water-resistant CdS/Sb2Se3 heterojunction photodetector fabricated by the close spaced sublimation (Sb2Se3) and chemical bath deposition (CdS) shows excellent self-powered photodetection performance at zero bias with high LDR of 128 dB, broadband response spectrum range of 300-1050 nm, high responsivity up to 0.47 A/W, and high specific detectivity over 5 × 1012 jones. Compared with the traditional optical imaging system, our designed computational imaging system that combines the advanced Fourier algorithm and a high-performance CdS/Sb2Se3 heterojunction photodetector exhibits outstanding antiscattering imaging capability (shielded by frosted glass), weak light imaging capability (∼0.2 μW/cm2, corresponding to moonlight intensity), and multispectral imaging capability. Therefore, we believe that this work will boost the progress of marine science.

Abstract
Anisotropic antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) semiconductor has received considerable attention due to its unique one-dimensional crystal structure and corresponding superior and anisotropic optical and electronic properties. It is a promising material for a wide range of applications related to electronics and optoelectronics. Herein, we demonstrate a high-performance and self-powered Sb2Se3 nanorod array-based core/shell heterojunction detector fabricated on glass substate. The detector shows a wide spectral photoresponse range from visible to near-infrared (405-980 nm). The detector yields a detectivity of as high as 2.06×1012 Jones in the visible light (638 nm) and that of 1.82×1012 Jones (830 nm) at zero bias. Due to the strong built-in filed and excellent carrier transport, the detector exhibits ultrafast response speed at both rise (30 μs) and decay (68 μs) processes. Further analysis demonstrates that the noise is mainly generated from the 1/f noise in the low frequency range, while it is affected by the shot noise and generation-recombination noise in high frequency.

Abstract
We present a self-seeded (with indium droplets) solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis route for InSb nanowires (NWs) using commercially available precursors at a relatively low temperature of about 175 °C, which takes only 1 min upon the injection of reductant. Structural characterization reveals that the InSb nanowires are high quality and have twinning superlattice structures with periodically spaced twin planes along the growth direction of 〈111〉. Notably, we have measured an ultrafast conductivity lifetime in the NWs of just 9.1 ps utilizing time-resolved optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) spectroscopy, which may facilitate the development of high-frequency nanoscale integrated optoelectronic systems related to twinning superlattice structures.

Abstract
Semiconductor-sensitized TiO2 thin films with long-term air stability are attractive for optoelectronic devices and applications. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of the TiO2 thin film (∼800 nm in thickness) sensitized with a Sb2Se3 layer (∼350 nm) grown from solution spin coating and processed by annealing recrystallization at 300 °C for high-performance optical detection. The type-II band alignment, p-Sb2Se3/n-TiO2 heterojunction, and narrow band gap of Sb2Se3 (∼1.25 eV) endow the film photodetector with a large photocurrent, high switching stability and on/off ratio (>103), and fast response speeds (<20 ms) under the broadband visible-near-infrared irradiation in a zero-bias self-powered photovoltaic mode. In particular, the photodetector shows notable resistance to oxidation and moisture for long-term operation, which is linked to the modest surface oxidation (Sb-O) of Sb2Se3, as verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The first-principles calculations show that a low and medium concentration of oxygen substitution for Se (OSe) and oxygen interstitial (Oi) with negative formation energies can lead to such a moderate surface oxidation but do not generate impurity states or just introduce a shallow-level acceptor state in the electronic structures of Sb2Se3 without degrading its optoelectronic performance. Our theoretical results offer a rational explanation for the air-stable and oxidation/moisture-resistant characteristics in moderately oxidized Sb2Se3 and may shed light on the surface oxidation-property relationship studies of other nonoxide semiconductor-sensitized devices.

Abstract
The V-VI binary chalcogenide, Sb2Se3, has attracted considerable attention for its applications in thin film optoelectronic devices because of its unique 1D structure and remarkable optoelectronic properties. Herein, we report an Sb2Se3 thin film epitaxially grown on a flexible mica substrate through a relatively weak (van der Waals) interaction by vapor transport deposition. The epitaxial Sb2Se3 thin films exhibit a single (120) out-of-plane orientation and a 0.25° full width at half-maximum of (120) rocking curve in X-ray diffraction, confirming the high crystallinity of the epitaxial films. The Sb2Se3(120) plane is epitaxially aligned on mica(001) surface with the in-plane relationship of Sb2Se3[2̅10]//mica[010] and Sb2Se3[001]//mica[100]. Compared to the photodetector made of a nonepitaxial Sb2Se3 film, the photocurrent of the epitaxial Sb2Se3 film photodetector is almost doubled. Furthermore, because of the flexibility and high sensitivity of the epitaxial Sb2Se3 film photodetector on mica, it has been successfully employed to detect the heart rate of a person. These encouraging results will facilitate the development of epitaxial Sb2Se3 film-based devices and potential applications in wearable electronics.

Abstract
One-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, which are different from those of bulk materials, have attracted considerable interest in either scientific research or practical application. Herein, the Sb2Se3 nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized by the epitaxial growth process on mica using the rapid physical vapor deposition method. The density of the Sb2Se3 nanoribbons increased quickly when the temperature decreased, and finally, the nanoribbons connected to each other and formed a network structure even in film. These nanoribbons were all well aligned along the preferred direction that either is parallel to each other or forms 60° angles. Further structural investigation demonstrated that the Sb2Se3 nanoribbons grew along the [001] directions, which are aligned along the directions [11̅0] and [100] or [100] and [110] on the mica surface. Then, an asymmetric lattice mismatch growth mechanism causing incommensurate heteroepitaxial lattice match between the Sb2Se3 and mica crystal structure was suggested. Furthermore, a polarized photodetector based on the film with the well-aligned Sb2Se3 nanoribbons was constructed, which illustrated strong photosensitivity and high anisotropic in-plane transport either in the dark or under light. The incommensurate heteroepitaxial growth method shown here may provide access to realize well-ordered nanostructures of other inorganic materials and promote the anisotropic photodetector industrialization.

Abstract
Structural symmetry is a simple way to quantify the anisotropic properties of materials toward unique device applications including anisotropic transportation and polarization-sensitive photodetection. The enhancement of anisotropy can be achieved by artificial symmetry-reduction design. A core-shell SbI3 /Sb2 O3 nanowire, a heterostructure bonded by van der Waals forces, is introduced as an example of enhancing the performance of polarization-sensitive photodetectors via symmetry reduction. The structural, vibrational, and optical anisotropies of such core-shell nanostructures are systematically investigated. It is found that the anisotropic absorbance of a core-shell nanowire is obviously higher than that of two single compounds from both theoretical and experimental investigations. Anisotropic photocurrents of the polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on these core-shell SbI3 /Sb2 O3 van der Waals nanowires are measured ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to visible light (360-532 nm). Compared with other van der Waals 1D materials, low anisotropy ratio (Imax /Imin ) is measured based on SbI3 but a device based on this core-shell nanowire possesses a relatively high anisotropy ratio of ≈3.14 under 450 nm polarized light. This work shows that the low-symmetrical core-shell van der Waals heterostructure has large potential to be applied in wide range polarization-sensitive photodetectors.

Abstract
The two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin layered materials have attracted significant attention for constructing next-generation integrated electronic and optoelectronic devices. A special class of 2D materials composed of quasi one-dimensional (1D) atomic chains that show intriguing properties are less studied. Here, two Se-containing 2D layered materials α-Se and Sb2Se3 that have quasi-1D atomic chains are investigated via first-principles electronic structure calculations. Results shows that the electronic properties of n-monolayers (n-MLs) stacked α-Se and Sb2Se3 exhibit distinct layer-dependence electronic properties. The band gap of 2D α-Se remarkably decreases with increasing thickness, whereas the band gap of 2D Sb2Se3 show negligible change with thickness. The evolution of lattice phonon frequencies with thickness also show similar distinction. The underpinnings of the diverse electronic properties are attributed to the different electronic coupling among the layers of α-Se and Sb2Se3 that results in different van der Waals interactions among chains/layers. Our study demonstrates the rich diversity in the properties of 2D layered materials composed of lower-dimensional structural motifs.

Abstract
Photonic cancer hyperthermia has been considered to be one of the most representative noninvasive cancer treatments with high therapeutic efficiency and biosafety. However, it still remains a crucial challenge to develop efficient photothermal nanoagents with satisfactory photothermal performance and biocompatibility, among which two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin nanosheets have recently been regarded as the promising multifunctional theranostic agents for photothermal tumor ablation. In this work, we report, for the first time, on the construction of a novel kind of photothermal agents based on the intriguing 2D antimony(III) selenide (Sb2Se3) nanosheets for highly efficient photoacoustic imaging-guided photonic cancer hyperthermia by near-infrared (NIR) laser activation. These Sb2Se3 nanosheets were easily fabricated by a novel but efficiently combined liquid nitrogen pretreatment and freezing-thawing approach, which were featured with high photothermal-conversion capability (extinction coefficient: 33.2 L g-1 cm-1; photothermal-conversion efficiency: 30.78%). The further surface engineering of these Sb2Se3 ultrathin nanosheets with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) substantially improved the biocompatibility of the nanosheets and their stability in physiological environments, guaranteeing the feasibility in photonic antitumor applications. Importantly, 2D Sb2Se3-PVP nanosheets have been certificated to efficiently eradicate the tumors by NIR-triggered photonic tumor hyperthermia. Especially, the biosafety in vitro and in vivo of these Sb2Se3 ultrathin nanosheets has been evaluated and demonstrated. This work meaningfully expands the biomedical applications of 2D bionanoplatforms with a planar topology through probing into new members (Sb2Se3 in this work) of 2D biomaterials with unique intrinsic physiochemical property and biological effect.

Abstract
Low-dimensional semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their unique structures and remarkable properties, which makes them promising materials for a wide range of applications related to electronics and optoelectronics. Herein, the preparation of 1D Sb2 Se3 nanowires (NWs) with high crystal quality via chemical vapor deposition growth is reported. The obtained Sb2 Se3 NWs have triangular prism morphology with aspect ratio range from 2 to 200, and three primary lattice orientations can be achieved on the sixfold symmetry mica substrate. Angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy measurement reveals strong anisotropic properties of the Sb2 Se3 NWs, which is also developed to identify its crystal orientation. Furthermore, photodetectors based on Sb2 Se3 NW exhibit a wide spectral photoresponse range from visible to NIR (400-900 nm). Owing to the high crystallinity of Sb2 Se3 NW, the photodetector acquires a photocurrent on/off ratio of about 405, a responsivity of 5100 mA W-1 , and fast rise and fall times of about 32 and 5 ms, respectively. Additionally, owing to the anisotropic structure of Sb2 Se3 NW, the device exhibits polarization-dependent photoresponse. The high crystallinity and superior anisotropy of Sb2 Se3 NW, combined with controllable preparation endows it with great potential for constructing multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The chemical composition, size and shape, and surface engineering play key roles in the performance of electronic, optoelectronic, and energy devices. V2VI3 (V = Sb, Bi; VI = S, Se) group materials are actively studied in these fields. In this paper, we introduce a colloidal method to synthesize uniform ternary (BixSb1-x)2S3 (0 < x < 1) nanorods. These nanorods show composition-dependent aspect ratios, enabling their composition, size, and shape control by varying Bi/Sb precursor ratios. It is found that the surface passivation by various thiols (L-SH) efficiently enhances the photoconductivity and optical responsive capability of (BixSb1-x)2S3 nanorods when used as active materials in indium tin oxide (ITO)/(BixSb1-x)2S3/ITO optoelectronic devices. Meanwhile, the increase of Sb content causes a gradual deterioration of photoconductivity of thiol-passivated nanorods. We propose that the thiol passivation is able to reduce the number of S vacancies, which act as the recombination centers (trapped states) for photogenerated electrons and holes, and thus boosts the carrier transport in (BixSb1-x)2S3 nanorods, and in particular that the composition-related conductivity deterioration is attributed to the increase of unpassivated S vacancies and surface oxidation due to the rise of Sb content.

Abstract
The need for low-cost high-performance broadband photon detection with sensitivity in the near infrared (NIR) has driven interest in new materials that combine high absorption with traditional electronic infrastructure (CMOS) compatibility. Here, we demonstrate a facile, low-cost and scalable, catalyst-free one-step solution-processed approach to grow one-dimensional Sb2Se3 nanostructures directly on flexible substrates for high-performance NIR photodetectors. Structural characterization and compositional analyses reveal high-quality single-crystalline material with orthorhombic crystal structure and a near-stoichiometric Sb/Se atomic ratio. We measure a direct band gap of 1.12 eV, which is consistent with predictions from theoretical simulations, indicating strong NIR potential. The fabricated metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors exhibit fast response (on the order of milliseconds) and high performance (responsivity ~ 0.27 A/W) as well as excellent mechanical flexibility and durability. The results demonstrate the potential of molecular-ink-based Sb2Se3 nanostructures for flexible electronic and broadband optoelectronic device applications.

Abstract
Ultralong orthorhombic Sb2Se3 nanowires have been successfully fabricated via an alternative facile organometallic synthetic route from the reaction of triphenylantimony(III) with dibenzyldiselenide in oleylamine at 180-240 °C without any other additives. The formation and growth mechanism of the Sb2Se3 nanowires is intensively investigated, and it is found that the anisotropic growth of the nanowires with almost constant diameters is resulted from the synergistic effects of the intrinsic property of the orthorhombic crystal structure and the weak binding assistance of oleylamine, and the length of the nanowires can be elongated easily by increasing reaction time in the synthetic route. Moreover, the photothermal response of the Sb2Se3 nanowires is first evaluated under illumination of UV light (320-390 nm), and it is especially noted that the Sb2Se3 nanowires exhibit highly enhanced photothermal responses (more than two times the intensity) as compared to the bulk Sb2Se3. In addition, the Sb2Se3 nanowires show excellent light-to-heat performance, which is superior to that of the nanostructured titanium dioxide and silicon powder under the same conditions.
