The research world for two dimensional (2D) materials is speeding day by day because of their excellent electronic, optical, and optoelectronic properties. Among these 2D materials, indium III selenide (In₂Se₃) is performing excellently in the field of electronics, optics, and optoelectronics. In this work, we synthesized the 70 nm average particle-sized In₂Se₃ nanocubes using laser ablation in water. For laser ablation, Nd: YAG laser is used as the laser source having 532 nm of wavelength with 62 mJ pulse and 10 Hz of repetition rate. The laser with a power of 620 mW was targeted on 1 hour sonicated 20 mg α-In₂Se₃ in 20 ml double distilled
de-ionized water. The α-phase of In₂Se₃ is unchanged even after laser ablation. The In₂Se₃ nanocubes having a size of about 70 nm show the superior field emission behavior. The field electron emission maximum current density ~2.656 mA/cm² at a field of 9.7 V/μm is achieved along with stable emission for 5 hours. We have also studied the electron decay analysis within the cubic structure using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy (UTAS) for a better understanding of carrier dynamics.
