Abstract
Method of preparing a selenium nanomaterial and selenium nanomaterial articles. The method may include forming a saccharide coating on a surface of a solid support material, treating the solid support material having the saccharide coating on the surface with a selenous acid solution, and heating the solid support material to form the selenium nanomaterial on the surface of the solid porous support material. The saccharide may include a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, or a polysaccharide, or a combination thereof, such as sucrose, or fructose, or a combination thereof.
Claims17
A method of preparing a selenium nanomaterial comprising:
- forming a saccharide coating on a surface of a solid support material,
- treating the solid support material having the saccharide coating on the surface with a selenous acid solution, and
- heating the solid support material to form the selenium nanomaterial on the surface of the solid porous support material.
A method of preparing a selenium nanomaterial comprising:
- soaking a solid support material in a saccharide solution to form a homogeneous saccharide coating on a surface of a solid support material,
- treating the solid support material having the saccharide coating on the surface with a selenous acid solution, and
- heating the solid support material to form homogeneous selenium nanomaterial on the surface of the solid porous support material.
