Iron selenide nanoparticles coated on carbon nanotubes from single source ferrocene incorporated selenourea precursor for fuel cell and photocatalytic applications

This article presents the synthesis and characterization (multinuclear NMR, FTIR, CHNS, AAS and single crystal XRD) of a single source organometallic precursor namely 1-(4-methylbenzoyl)-3-(3-ferrocenylphenyl) selenourea for the fabrication of iron selenide (FeSe) nanoparticles (NPs) supported on multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) which were characterized with XRD, SEM and TEM with fuel cell and photocatalytic applications.
