Copper selenide thin films from growth to applications

摘要

This article deals with the synthetic methods (chemical bath deposition, electrodeposition, microwave synthesis, sol-gel method, dip coating, sputtering method, spin coating, colloidal method, solid state reaction, hydrothermal method and vapor based methods) and applications (electrocatalyst for water splitting, counter electrodes in solar cells, self-repairable electrodes, thermoelectric properties and flexible electronics) of copper selenide thin films.
