Structure, Stability, and Electronic Properties of the 2D van der Waals Selenophosphate LiGaP 2 Se 6We report the two-dimensional (2D) bimetallic selenophosphate, LiGaP2Se6, prepared through direct combination reactions and P2Se5 flux methods. The material is a member of the broad class of van der Waals 2D materials of the type M2P2Q6 (M = metals). The structure was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined in the chiral space group P3̅1c, with lattice parameters a = b = 6.2993(9) Å, c = 13.308(3) Å, α = β = 90°, γ = 120°. Differential thermal analysis indicated a congruent melting point at ∼458 °C. Optoelectronic properties were assessed using ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, showing a band gap of 2.01 eV, and photoemission yield spectroscopy in air (PYSA), which determined a work function of 5.44 eV. Notably, stability studies on LiGaP2Se6 revealed remarkable resilience despite its Li content, showing no structural changes after 2 weeks in ambient air or after soaking in a water/ethanol bath.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available July 30, 2026
