ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional inorganic-organic hybrid layered semiconductors are actively studied because of their naturally formed multiquantum well (MQW) structures and associated optical, photoelectric, and quantum optics characteristics. Silver benzeneselenolate (AgSePh, Ph = C6H5) is a new member of such hybrid layered materials, but has not fully been exploited. Herein, we present a quasi-solution method to prepare high quality free-standing AgSePh flake-like microcrystals by reacting diphenyl diselenide (Ph2Se2) with silver nanoparticles. The resultant AgSePh microflakes exhibit room-temperature (RT) resolvable MQW-induced quasi-particle quantization and interesting optical properties, such as three distinct excitonic resonance absorptions X1 (2.67 eV), X2 (2.71 eV), and X3 (2.83 eV) in the visible region, strong narrow-line width blue photoluminescence at â¼2.64 eV (470 nm) from the radiative recombination of the X1 exciton state, and a large exciton binding energy (â¼0.35 eV). Furthermore, AgSePh microcrystals show high stability under water, oxygen, and heat environments, while above 220 °C, they will thermally decompose to silver and Ph2Se2 as evidenced by a combination of thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry and pyrolysis-coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry studies. Finally, a comparison is extended between AgSePh and other metal benzeneselenolates, benzenethiolates, and alkanethiolates to clarify differences in their solubility, decomposition/melting temperature, and pyrolytic products.
