Title: Nucleation and growth of PbSeO3, Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2, and Se on the PbSe surfaces by decomposing PbSe in water

Abstract

PbSe materials are widely researched and utilized in visible-infrared photodetectors, displays, transistors, thermoelectric devices, and photovoltaics. However, the instability of PbSe limits practical utilization. The decomposition mechanisms of PbSe needs to be clarified for guiding targeted design to improve its stability. Here, we studied the decomposition process of PbSe in water, which is exposed to air, by using ex-situ and semi in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electron tomography reconstruction (ETR). We found that, besides water molecules, PbSe particles also react with O2 and CO2 that are adsorbed in water from air. Pd3(CO3)2(OH)2, PbSeO3, and Se nucleate and grow on the surface of PbSe powders. This work provides understanding of the mechanism of materials nucleation, growth, and decomposition. Furthermore, the findings can be used as a reference to improve the stability and lifetime of PbSe devices.
