Cobalt(II) selenide

Preparation

Cobalt(II) selenide can be prepared by placing cobalt selenite in 10% sodium hydroxide solution, stirring it, and adding it drop by drop into the 10% sodium hydroxide solution of sodium thiosulfate. When the color of the reaction solution no longer changes, let it stand, filter, and use water and wash it with 5% hydrochloric acid and dry it to obtain CoSe.

Cobalt(II) selenide can also be produced by the electrodeposition reaction of cobalt(II) acetate and sodium selenite in acidic solution. When the pH is 3.5, the ratio of cobalt and selenium in the compound is closest to 1:1; too low a pH will make the compound rich in selenium, while higher The pH will be rich in cobalt.

Applications

Ag+-doped cobalt(II) selenide nanoparticles can be used as catalysts for water electrolysis. Cobalt(II) selenide materials mixed with tin selenide can be used as electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells.

Related compounds

Cobalt(II) selenide can exist in the form of non-stoichiometric compounds. Dissolve cobalt(II) chloride and urea in deionized water in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, heat to 120 °C in a stainless steel reactor to obtain pink precipitate Co(CO3)0.35Cl0.20(OH)1.10, wash and vacuum dry. In addition, add selenium powder to the sodium borohydride aqueous solution and shake until the black solid disappears to obtain a NaHSe solution. Add the cobalt source and selenium source into the reaction kettle to perform solvothermal (ethanol-water) reaction to obtain Co0.85Se. This compound is ferromagnetic at room temperature.

In addition, Co9Se8, Co2Se3, Co3Se4 and CoSe2 have also been reported.
