Abstract

Due to the unique properties of metal dichalcogenides, they are wide used in various fields of nano- and optoelectronics. Bi2Se3 is one of the promising n-type semiconductor materials belonging to the Av – Bvı group, with a band gap of 0.3 eV. To obtain these compounds by co-electrodeposition, we study the electroreduction of the initial components separately. Therefore, the study is devoted to the electrochemical reduction of selenite ions from the ethylene glycol solution. By drawing cyclic and linear polarization curves on Pt electrodes, the kinetics, the mechanism of the process, and the influence of various factors on the electroreduction of selenite ions are studied. Using the obtained data on the influence of temperature, the effective activation energy was calculated by the Gorbachov method. The calculation results show that the electroreduction of selenite ions from ethylene glycol is accompanied by electrochemical kinetics closer to diffusion
