Abstract

The Cu2 − xSe nanostructure is rapidly synthesized via one-pot microwave-assisted method. Excellent aqueous dispersion Cu2 − xSe hollow structures with an average diameter 160–180 nm and a shell thickness 11.3 nm are obtained successfully. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure is discussed in detail. The NPs exhibits a superior photostability and photothermal conversion efficiency (48%) owing to its unique cavity effect and LSPR property.
