Ni₃Te₂ has been reported as a highly efficient OER electrocatalyst with an overpotential of 180 mV at 10 mA cm⁻² and also showing HER catalytic activity in alkaline medium.

A CoNi ₂ Se ₄ –rGO nanocomposite fabricated on Ni foam shows excellent efficiency for non-enzymatic glucose sensing at low applied potential.

Simple, binary Cu₂Se has been reported for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction leading to the production of carbon rich products at low applied potentials with high product selectivity.
