الوصف: This study explores the rich chemistry of elemental selenium reduction to monoselenide anions. The simplest possible homogeneous electron transfer occurs with free electrons, which is only possible in plasmas; however, alkali metals in liquid ammonia can supply unbound electrons at much lower temperatures, allowing in situ analysis. Here, solvated electrons reduce elemental selenium to K2Se, a compound relevant for alkali metal doping of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cell material. It is proposed that the reaction follows pseudo first-order kinetics with an inner-sphere or outer-sphere oxidation semi reaction mechanism depending on the concentration of solvated electrons.
