Synthesis of Sb_2Se_3 nanorod using beta-cyclodextrin

摘要

A novel method is described for the preparation of antimony selenide nanorod in the presence of beta-cyclodextrin. The nanorod is obtained by the addition of beta-cyclodextrin (5 mM) in a reaction mixture of potassium antimony oxide tartrate and sodium selenosulfate in alkaline pH (10.80), while chainlike structures of antimony selenide are formed at a lower concentration of beta-cyclodextrin (2 mM).
