Article Abstract
Tin diselenide (SnSe ) nanosheets as novel 2D layered materials have excellent optical properties with many promising application prospects, such as photoelectric detectors, nonlinear optics, infrared photoelectric devices, and ultrafast photonics. Among them, ultrafast photonics has attracted much attention due to its enormous advantages; for instance, extremely fast pulse, strong peak power, and narrow bandwidth. In this work, SnSe nanosheets are fabricated by using solvothermal treatment, and the characteristics of SnSe are systemically investigated. In addition, the solution of SnSe nanosheets is successfully prepared as a fiber-based saturable absorber by utilizing the evanescent field effect, which can bear a high pump power. 31st-order subpicosecond harmonic mode locking is generated in an Er-doped fiber laser, corresponding to the maximum repetition rate of 257.3 MHz and pulse duration of 887 fs. The results show that SnSe can be used as an excellent nonlinear photonic device in many fields, such as frequency comb, lasers, photodetectors, etc.

The development of non-copper-based materials for CO electroreduction to ethanol with high selectivity at large current density is highly desirable, but still a great challenge. Herein, we report iron group metal ions of M (M=Fe, Co, or Ni)-doped amorphous/crystalline SnSe/SnSe nanorod/nanosheet hierarchical structures (a/c-SnSe/SnSe) for selective CO electroreduction to ethanol. Iron group metal ions doping induces multiple active sites at the interface of M-doped SnSe/SnSe p-n heterojunction, which strengthens *CO intermediate binding for further C-C coupling to eventual ethanol generation.

Solar-powered water evaporation as a clean and abundant renewable energy-efficient desalination technology provides a promising strategy to solve the shortage of freshwater resources. However, the development and application of solar vapor technology are hindered by the relatively low near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency of existing materials and the lack of effective improvement strategies. In this work, the conductivity characteristics of 2D semiconductors are capitalized on the high visible light absorption and ultra-low thermal.

Understanding the dynamic transformation processes of electrocatalysts during electrochemical reactions is crucial for the development of advanced materials for energy conversion and storage, yet it remains a challenge. Herein, we report the real-time monitoring of the dynamic transformation of a series of layered Sn chalcogenides during electrochemical reduction using a plasmonic imaging method. Taking SnSe as an example, we observed a strong firework-like emission diffusing outward from SnSe to the surrounding solution under a negative potential.
