Preparation of Copper Selenide Platelets
Copper selenide (CuxSe) particles were prepared by heating copper carbonate and selenous acid in diethylene glycol in the presence of various dispersing agents. The impact of reaction conditions on the structural and morphological properties of the precipitated particles were assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron microscopy. Although all additives promoted anisotropic growth, it was found that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was particularly effective in generating dispersed high aspect ratio CuxSe platelets.
