A new layered oxyselenide, BaCuOCuSe, was synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions and was characterized via structural, magnetic, and transport measurements. It crystallizes into space group I4/ mmm and consists of a square lattice of [CuO] planes and antifluorite-type [CuSe] layers, which are alternately stacked along the c axis. The lattice parameters are obtained as a = b = 4.0885 Å and c = 19.6887 Å. The Cu-O bond length is given by half of the lattice constant a, i.e., 2.0443 Å. BaCuOCuSe is a semiconductor with a resistivity of ∼18 mΩ·cm at room temperature. No magnetic transition was found in the measured temperature range, and the Curie-Weiss temperature was obtained as -0.2 K, suggesting a very weak exchange interaction. The DFT+ U calculation demonstrates that the band gap is about 0.2 eV for the supposed antiferromagnetic order, and the density of state near the top of the valence band is mainly contributed from the Se 4p electrons.

The optoelectronic properties of two layered copper oxyselenide compounds, with nominal composition SrZnOCuSe and BaZnOCuSe, have been investigated to determine their suitability as p-type conductors. The structure, band gaps and electrical conductivity of pristine and alkali-metal-doped samples have been determined. We find that the strontium-containing compound, SrZnOCuSe, adopts the expected tetragonal structure with 4/ symmetry, and has a band gap of 2.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how ferroelectric catalysts can change their catalytic activities by switching electric polarizations, using layered bismuth oxyselenide (L-BiOSe) microreactors.
- It introduces a new method called selective-area ionic liquid gating to control the direction of dipole orientation in L-BiOSe, leading to variations in catalytic reactions, with upward polarization favoring oxygen evolution and downward polarization favoring hydrogen evolution.
- The research demonstrates that by integrating L-BiOSe microreactors with different polarizations, it is possible to achieve overall water splitting, highlighting the potential for designing catalysts that can switch surface polarizations.

Advancements in high-temperature thermoelectric (TE) materials have been substantial, yet identifying promising near-room-temperature candidates for efficient power generation from low-grade waste heat or TE cooling applications has become critical but proven exceedingly challenging. Bismuth oxyselenide (BiOSe) emerges as an ideal candidate for near-room-temperature energy harvesting due to its low thermal conductivity, high carrier mobility and remarkable air-stability. In this study, the TE properties of few-layer BiOSe over a wide temperature range (20-380 K) are investigated, where a charge transport mechanism transitioning from polar optical phonon to piezoelectric scattering at 140 K is observed.
