Nickel selenide is an inorganic chemical compound of nickel from the group of selenides . The compound has a phase width of up to Ni 3 Se 4 and, along with Ni 3 Se 2 , NiSe 2 and possibly other existing phases, is only one of the nickel selenides.
Occurrence
The β-form of nickel selenide occurs naturally in the form of the mineral sederholmit , the γ-form as mäkinenite . The other nickel selenides also occur naturally. Wilkmanite corresponds to the monoclinic Ni 3 Se 4 phase, kullerudite and penrosite (both NiSe 2 ) are the orthorhombic or cubic nickel analogues of ferroselite (FeSe 2 ) and trüstedtite Ni 3 Se 4 is a cubic spinel .
Extraction and presentation
Nickel selenide can be obtained by introducing hydrogen selenide into a nickel salt solution mixed with sodium acetate , creating the black amorphous form, which always contains some selenium.
In the absence of air, the amorphous α-form precipitates from neutral aqueous nickel salt solution with ammonium selenide, the hexagonal β-form from acetic acid nickel acetate solution with hydrogen selenide and the unstable rhombohedral γ-form from sulfuric nickel sulfate solution with hydrogen selenide . This occurs only below 32 ° C and in addition to the β form and Ni 3 Se 2 .
Thin layers can also be obtained directly by reacting red-hot nickel with selenium vapor.
A number of nickel selenides (NiSe and NiSe 2 ) can be synthesized by reacting selenium (IV) chloride with nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant and hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent at 180 ° C.
properties
Nickel selenide is a gray, odorless solid that is practically insoluble in water. It is insoluble in both cold and heated, dilute mineral acids ; with concentrated hydrochloric acid , it gradually develops hydrogen selenide. It is completely soluble in aqua regia and insoluble in alkalis . In the dry state it changes only slowly with oxidation, with some NiSeO 3 being formed. In contrast, it shows no tendency to form colloidal solutions, as is the case with nickel (II) sulfide .
The β-form has a hexagonal crystal structure of the nickel arsenide type with the space group P 6 3 / mmc (space group no. 194) . In contrast, Ni 3 Se 2 has a rhombohedral crystal structure with the space group R 32 (space group no. 155) .
use
Nickel selenide thin films are important semiconductor materials and could be used as absorbent materials in photo-electrochemical cells.
