Abstract
Antimony selenide is a promising P-type photocatalyst, but it has a large number of deep energy level defects, leading to severe carrier recombination. The construction of a heterojunction is a common way to resolve this problem. However, the conventional heterojunction system inevitably introduces interface defects. Herein, we employ in situ synthesis to epitaxially grow In2Se3 nanosheets on Sb2Se3 nanorods and form In-Sb covalent interfacial bonds. This petal-shaped heterostructure reduced interface defects and enhanced the efficiency of carrier separation and transport. In this work, the photocurrent density in the proposed Sb2Se3/In2Se3 photocathode is 0.485 mA cm-2 at 0 VRHE, which is 30 times higher than that of pristine Sb2Se3 and it has prominent long-term stability for 24 h without obvious decay. The results reveal that the synergy of the bidirectional built-in electric field constructed between In2Se3 and Sb2Se3 and the solid In-Sb interfacial bonds together build a high-efficiency transport channel for the photogenerated carriers that display enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance. This work provides efficient guidance for reducing interface defects via the in situ synthesis and construction of interfacial bonds.

Abstract
High-performance nanosized optoelectronic devices based on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have significant potential for use in a variety of applications. However, the investigation of nanoribbon-based vdW heterostructures are still mostly unexplored. In this study, based on first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that a Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 vdW heterostructure, which is formed by isostructural nanoribbons of stibnite (Sb2S3) and antimonselite (Sb2Se3), possesses a direct band gap with a typical type-II band alignment, which is suitable for optoelectronics and solar energy conversion. Optical absorption spectra show broad profiles in the visible and UV ranges for all of the studied configurations, indicating their suitability for photodevices. Additionally, in 1D nanoribbons, we see sharp peaks corresponding to strongly bound excitons in a fashion similar to that of other quasi-1D systems. The Sb2S3/Sb2Se3 heterostructure is predicted to exhibit a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 28.2%, positioning it competitively alongside other extensively studied two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures.

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
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
Stoichiometric antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) nanocrystals have been successfully engineered by a facile physical vapor deposition method, employing a single precursor of polycrystalline Sb2Se3 charge in a closed quartz ampoule under high vacuum without any foreign seed or extraneous chemical elements. This work underscores the efficacy of the vapor deposition process and provides synthetic strategies to scale down bulk Sb2Se3 into novel nanostructures. The morphological evolution of the tailored architecture was examined on micro and nano size scales by scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The intrinsic mechanism governing the nanostructure formation is revealed as layer-by-layer growth, related to the unique layered structure of Sb2Se3. The optical properties of the grown crystals were probed by UV–vis–NIR and photoluminescence tools. The band-gap values of the microfibers, nanorods, nanooctahedra and nanospheres estimated from UV–vis–NIR analysis are found to be 1.25, 1.47, 1.51 and 1.75 eV, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive analysis by X-rays, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence studies confirmed the quality, phase purity and homogeneity of the as-grown nanostructures. The adopted physical vapor deposition method is thus shown to be a simple and elegant route which resulted in the enhancement of the band gap for the Sb2Se3 samples compared with their counterparts grown by chemical methods. This approach has great potential for further applications in optoelectronics.

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
Liquid-based thermochromics can be incorporated into an arbitrarily shaped container and provide a visual map of the temperature changes within its volume. However, photochemical degradation, narrow temperature range of operation, and the need for stringent encapsulation processes are challenges that can limit their widespread use. Here, a unique solution-based thermochromic comprising ultrathin colloidal Sb2 Se3 nanowires in an amine-thiol mixture is introduced. The nanowires undergo reversible growth and dissolution with repeated cycles of heating and cooling between 20 and 160 °C, exhibiting intense and contrasting color changes during these processes. Furthermore, the transition temperature in which a change in color first appears can be continuously tuned over a range larger than 100 °C by introducing controlled amounts of Sn2+ . The colloidal nanowire dispersion in the amine-thiol mixture retains its thermochromic properties over hundreds of temperature cycles, continuous heating at 80 °C over months, and shelf life of up to 2 years in an open container under ambient conditions. To illustrate its utility as a robust liquid thermochromic, the nanowire solution is coated onto standard filter paper and its uses as a rewritable surface by thermal scribing, as well as an inexpensive means of visualizing the temperature distribution of an anisotropically heated block are demonstrated.

Abstract
One-dimensional Sb2Se3/C rods are prepared through self-assembly by inducing anisotropy, and their corresponding sodium storage behaviors are evaluated, presenting excellent electrochemical performances with superior cycling stability and rate capability. Sb2Se3 delivers a high initial charge capacity of 657.6 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 between 2.5 and 0.01 V. After 100 cycles, the reversible capacity of Sb2Se3/C is still retained at 485.2 mA h g-1. Even at a high rate current density of 2.0 A g-1, the charge capacity is still retained at 311.5 mA h g-1. Through the analysis of cyclic voltammetry and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the in-depth understanding of high rate performances is explored effectively. Briefly, the sodium storage performance of Sb2Se3/C is observably enhanced, benefiting from the 1D structure and the introduction of a carbon layer with robust structure stability and conductivity.

Abstract
Photodetectors which can work at both low and high temperatures are very important for the development of practical optoelectronic devices. Many studies have shown that low-dimensional semiconductors have more advantages in optoelectronic applications than their bulk forms. Here, we report the preparation of high-quality Sb2S3 nanowires (NWs) by a sulphur-assisted vapour transport method. The corresponding individual Sb2S3 NW based photodetectors exhibit good photoresponse in a wide spectral range from about 300 to 800 nm. The optimal photoresponse values are measured under the illumination of a 638 nm laser at room temperature: a high current ON/OFF ratio of about 210, a spectral responsivity of 1152 A W-1, a detectivity of 2 × 1013 Jones, and rise and fall times of about 37 ms, respectively. More importantly, the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of Sb2S3 shows three variation regions which can be attributed to the interaction between the carrier mobility and carrier concentration. The temperature dependence of the photoresponse of the photodetectors shows that they have good adaptability to temperature, and they worked very well at a wide temperature range from 8 to 420 K. Our results indicate that low-dimensional Sb2S3 crystals are promising candidates for new multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin metal chalcogenides represent a class of promising materials for various applications thanks to attractive physicochemical properties. However, a reliable pathway for fabricating ultrathin metal chalcogenides nanosheets, regardless of the bulk crystals of their 3D counterparts, still remains a challenge. Herein, we present a versatile solution-processed template synthesis strategy, in which a single molecular-level precursor anneals to ultrathin single-crystal nanosheets with the aid of lattice-matching templates, following the Frank-van der Merwe growth mode and featuring high quality, low cost, scalability, and processability. Following this strategy, Sb2S3, MoS2, and ZnS nanosheets are successfully prepared as representatives for materials whose bulk counterparts possess 1D, 2D, and 3D crystal structures, respectively, and the growth mechanism is confirmed by crystal mode analysis. As a proof-of-concept application, MoS2 and Sb2S3 nanosheets are used for gas sensor and flexible photodetector applications, respectively, which exhibit excellent performance. The method can also be easily extended to other ultrathin nanosheets like single metals, metal oxide, metal nitride, and heterostructures.

Abstract
2D materials, particularly those bearing in-plane anisotropic optical and electrical properties such as black phosphorus and ReS2 , have spurred great research interest very recently as promising building blocks for future electronics. However, current progress is limited to layered compounds that feature atomic arrangement asymmetry within the covalently bonded planes. Herein, a series of highly anisotropic nanosheets (Sb2 Se3 , Sb2 S3 , Bi2 S3 , and Sb2 (S, Se)3 ), which are composed of 1D covalently linked ribbons stacked together via van der Waals force, is introduced as a new member to the anisotropic 2D material family. These unique anisotropic nanosheets are successfully fabricated from their polymer-like bulk counterparts through a gentle water freezing-thawing approach. Angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy characterization confirms the strong in-plane asymmetry of Sb2 Se3 nanosheets, and photodetection study reveals their high responsivity and anisotropic in-plane transport. This work can enlighten the synthesis and application of new anisotropic 2D nanosheets that can be potentially applied for future electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) free-standing nanowires are particularly important for carrier confinement in two dimensions, which provides a platform to explore the nonlinear optical phenomena at the nanoscale. In this Letter, we demonstrate saturable absorption in the resonant and above-bandgap excitations of both ns and fs pulses in 1D crystalline Sb2Se3 nanowires prepared by the facile hydrothermal method. Impressively, the average length of the nanowires extends to a few micrometers with a high aspect ratio of 300. The excited-state to ground-state absorption cross-section ratio in Sb2Se3 nanowires is ≈0.23, which suggests that they can be utilized as passive mode lockers.

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.

Abstract
There is more to chemical bonding in chalcogenides than the shortest, strongest bonds, as revealed by microscopic quantum-chemical descriptors.
Antimony selenide (antimonselite, Sb2Se3) is a versatile functional material with emerging applications in solar cells. It also provides an intriguing prototype to study different modes of bonding in solid chalcogenides, all within one crystal structure. In this study, we unravel the complex bonding nature of crystalline Sb2Se3 by using an orbital-based descriptor (the crystal orbital Hamilton population, COHP) and by analysing phonon properties and interatomic force constants. We find particularly interesting behaviour for the medium-range Sb···Se contacts, which still contribute significant stabilisation but are much softer than the “traditional” covalent bonds. These results have implications for the assembly of Sb2Se3 nanostructures, and bond-projected force constants appear as a useful microscopic descriptor for investigating a larger number of chalcogenide functional materials in the future.

Abstract
Due to its direct and narrow band gap, high chemical stability, and high Seebeck coefficient (1800 μVK−1), antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has many potential applications, such as in photovoltaic devices, thermoelectric devices, and solar cells. However, research on the Sb2Se3 materials has been limited by its low electrical conductivity in bulk state. To overcome this challenge, we suggest two kinds of nano-structured materials, namely, the diameter-controlled Sb2Se3 nanowires and Ag2Se-decorated Sb2Se3 nanowires. The photocurrent response of diameter-controlled Sb2Se3, which depends on electrical conductivity of the material, increases non-linearly with the diameter of the nanowire. The photosensitivity factor (K = Ilight/Idark) of the intrinsic Sb2Se3 nanowire with diameter of 80–100 nm is highly improved (K = 75). Additionally, the measurement was conducted using a single nanowire under low source-drain voltage. The dark- and photocurrent of the Ag2Se-decorated Sb2Se3 nanowire further increased, as compared to that of the intrinsic Sb2Se3 nanowire, to approximately 50 and 7 times, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, we synthesized 3D Bi2S3 microspheres comprised of nanorods grown along the (211) facet on graphene sheets by a solvothermal route, and investigated its catalytic activities through I-V curves and conversion efficiency tests as the CE in DSSCs. Although the (211) facet has a large band gap for a Bi2S3 semiconductor, owing to the introduction of graphene into the system, its short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage, fill factor, and efficiency were Jsc = 12.2 mA cm(-2), Voc = 0.75 V, FF = 0.60, and η = 5.5%, respectively. By integrating it with graphene sheets, our material achieved the conversion efficiency of 5.5%, which is almost triple the best conversion efficiency value of the DSSCs with (211)-faceted 3D Bi2S3 without graphene (1.9%) reported in the latest literature. Since this conversion-efficient 3D material grown on the graphene sheets significantly improves its catalytic properties, it paves the way for designing and applying low-cost Pt-free CE materials in DSSC from inorganic nanostructures.

Abstract
Orthorhombic phase of antimony triselenide ( Sb 2 Se 3) nanowires have been obtained by a facile and effective one-pot noninjection chemical route with controllable shape and size. The synthesis, which uses SeO 2 as the selenium precursor and can be conducted in air, is suitable for the larger-scale industrial synthesis of high-quality nanocrystals at low cost. The as-prepared nanocrystals were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We believe that the method present here is a more straightforward and cost-effective route to prepare Sb 2 Se 3 nanocrystals with high quality. The band-edge positions of the Sb 2 Se 3 nanocrystals are studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Abstract
Urchinlike nanostructure of well-defined Sb(2)S(3) crystals of 3-4 μm in length and 30-150 nm in diameter oriented along [001] direction have been produced at a mild reaction temperature of 90 °C from SbCl(3) and S-methyl 3-phenyldithiocarbazate [C(6)H(5)NHNHC(S)SMe] in ethylene glycol medium. During the reaction, the amorphous Sb(2)S(3) spheres of 1.4 μm in diameter were formed at early reaction stage and then crystalline nanorods were continuously grown at the surface of Sb(2)S(3) spheres while transforming their morphology into urchinlike structure. The urchinlike Sb(2)S(3) was composed of single-crystalline Sb(2)S(3) nanorods, belong to the orthorhombic phase with cell parameters a = 11.307 Å, b = 11.278 Å, c = 3.847 Å and absorbed the light up to 750 nm-wavelength region. The urchinlike Sb(2)S(3) architecture was applied to the photoelectrochemical cell.

Abstract
We report a simple chemical conversion and cation exchange technique to realize the synthesis of Sb2S3 nanotubes at a low temperature of 90°C. The successful chemical conversion from ZnS nanotubes to Sb2S3 ones benefits from the large difference in solubility between ZnS and Sb2S3. The as-grown Sb2S3 nanotubes have been transformed from a weak crystallization to a polycrystalline structure via successive annealing. In addition to the detailed structural, morphological, and optical investigation of the yielded Sb2S3 nanotubes before and after annealing, we have shown high photocatalytic activities of Sb2S3 nanotubes for methyl orange degradation under visible light irradiation. This approach offers an effective control of the composition and structure of Sb2S3 nanomaterials, facilitates the production at a relatively low reaction temperature without the need of organics, templates, or crystal seeds, and can be extended to the synthesis of hollow structures with various compositions and shapes for unique properties.

Abstract
The controlled synthesis of one-dimensional and three-dimensional Sb(2)Se(3) nanostructures has been achieved by a facile solvothermal process in the presence of citric acid. By simply controlling the concentration of citric acid, the nucleation, growth direction and exposed facet can be readily tuned, which brings the different morphologies and nanostructures to the final products. The as-prepared products have been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM and selected area electron diffraction. Based on the electron microscope observations, a possible growth mechanism of Sb(2)Se(3) with distinctive morphologies including ultralong nanobelts, hierarchical urchin-like nanostructures is proposed and discussed in detail. The electrochemical hydrogen storage measurements reveal that the morphology plays a key role on the hydrogen storage capacity of Sb(2)Se(3) nanostructures. The Sb(2)Se(3) ultralong nanobelts with high percentage of {-111} facets exhibit higher hydrogen storage capacity (228.5 mA h g(-1)) and better cycle stability at room temperature.

Abstract
Sub-10 nm semiconducting nanostructures are crucial for the realization of nanoscale devices. Fabrication of nanostructures at this scale with homogeneous properties is challenging. Using ab initio calculations, we show that self-standing ribbons of antimony selenide and antimony sulfide of width 1.1 nm exhibit well-defined bandgaps of 1.66 and 2.16 eV, respectively. Molecular dynamics studies show that these ribbons are stable at 500 K. The one-dimensional (1D) heterostructure of these nanoribbons (Sb(2)Se(3)/Sb(2)S(3)) along the [001] direction shows a straddling type behavior.

Abstract
Sb(2)Se(3) submicron tetragonal tubes have been prepared by a microwave-assisted polyol method using antimony trichloride and sodium selenite as the Sb and Se precursors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed a novel transformation of Sb(2)Se(3) microstructures from submicron tubes to submicron spheres during the microwave heating process. The potential growth mechanism has been investigated by analyzing the samples at different growth stages. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses confirmed that samples prepared under 10 min microwave heating possessed tetragonal tubular structure with lengths in the range of 10-30 microm, thicknesses in the range of 0.5-1 microm and wall thicknesses in the range of 100-200 nm. High-resolution TEM (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) results revealed that Sb(2)Se(3) submicron tubes were single-crystalline along the [001] direction. The optical properties of Sb(2)Se(3) submicron tubes and submicron spheres were characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and the band gap (E(g)) derived to be 1.161 and 1.173 eV, respectively.

Abstract
We report the first synthesis of high-quality binary and ternary Sb(2)Se(3-x)S(x) nanotubes across the entire compositional range from x = 0 to 3 via a simple, low-cost, colloidal synthetic method of injection of Sb(III)-complex solution into a hot paraffin liquid containing Se, S, or a mixture thereof. In contrast to the classic rolling mechanism, the modular formation of the reported nanotubes follows a four-stage self-seeding process: (i) amorphous nanospheres, (ii) short crystalline nanotubes growing out of relatively large amorphous nanospheres, (iii) long crystalline nanotubes attached to small amorphous nanospheres, and (iv) single-crystal nanotubes. The obtained single-crystal nanotubes have tunable composition, orthorhombic phase, well-defined rectangular cross sections, and growth direction along [001], as revealed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction studies. UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy reveals that the optical bandgap energy of the Sb(2)Se(3-x)S(x) (0 < or = x < or = 3) nanotubes increases quadratically with the sulfur concentration x with these bandgap energies falling in the range from 1.18 to 1.63 eV at the red edge of the solar spectrum. The present study opens a new avenue to low-cost, large-scale synthesis of high quality semiconductor nanotubes with technological applications in solar energy conversion and also for a wide range of optical nanodevices operating in the near-infrared.

Abstract
Orthorhombic Sb(2)Se(3) submicron rods were prepared from antimony sodium tartrate and Se powder via a microwave-assisted chemical method. The products were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques. The reaction mechanism and the morphology of the product were studied in detail in comparison with those in the syntheses of Bi(2)Te(3) and Sb(2)Te(3). The synthesis of Sb(2)Se(3) was based on the polyol reducing process and microwaves played an important role. The morphologies of the compounds were mainly determined by their inherent anisotropic crystal structures. The optical properties of as-prepared Sb(2)Se(3) were also characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and the bandgap (E(g)) can be derived to be 1.16 eV, which is suitable for applications in photovoltaic conversion.
