Abstract
Single-crystalline nanobelts and nanowires of trigonal selenium (t-Se) have been selectively synthesized in micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants. In particular, t-Se nanobelts about 30 nm in thickness were obtained in micellar solutions of poly(oxyethylene(20)) octadecyl ether (C18EO20), whereas t-Se nanowires were obtained in micellar solutions of poly(oxyethylene(10)) dodecyl ether (C12EO10). The obtained t-Se nanobelts exhibit a low-energy absorption peak that is considerably red shifted from that for t-Se nanowires, which has been presumably attributed to the lower degree of crystal perfection for the t-Se nanobelts with rectangular cross sections.
