Abstract

A facile and environment-friendly solvothermal method has been developed for the controlled growth of nano- and micro-structured trigonal selenium (t-Se) by using green templates. And, the morphology of trigonal selenium can be tuned by using different kinds of templates. The as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Furthermore, the formation mechanism of trigonal selenium nano- and microcrystals was rationally suggested. This method will open a new avenue to synthesize other functional inorganic nano- and microcrystals.
