  1. TOPOTACTIC NANOCHEMISTRY APPROACH TO SILVER SELENIDE NANOWIRES • Silver selenide Ag2Se • Silver ion superionic conductor • Photoconductor • Thermoelectric - large Seebeck coefficient • Thermochromic 133°C alpha-beta phase transition • Therefore interesting to synthesize nanowires of silver selenide • Idea is to synthesize c-Se nanowires and topotactically convert them with Ag+ to c-Ag2Se nanowires with shape retention - similar for ZnSe, Be2Se3

  2. Unique Features of Selenium • Intrinsic Optical Chirality • Highest Photoconductivity • (s = 8 x 104 S/cm for t-Se) • Piezoelectric and Nonlinear • Optical (NLO) Properties • Thermoelectric Properties • Useful Catalytic Properties • (Halogenation, Oxidation) • Reactivities to Form Other • Functional Materials such • as ZnSe, CdSe and Ag2Se Se Chain Trigonal Selenium (t-Se)
