Synthesis of Ultra-long Hollow Mercury Selenide (HgSe) Chalcogenide Nanofibers from Co and Ni Sacrificial Nanofibers | Chapter 04 | New Insights on Chemical Research Vol. 1
A general synthetic method has been
used to fabricate Co and Ni nanofibers. By using the electrospinning technique
followed by galvanic displacement reaction, we have successfully prepared
ultra-long hollow chalcogen and chalcogenide nanofibers. The outstanding
features of this approach to get ultra-long sacrificial nanofibers with
controlled dimensions and morphology, thereby imparting control over the
composition and shape of the nanostructures evolved during galvanic
displacement reaction are its simplicity, effectiveness and ease of assembly.
The aim of this study is to exploit the structural and compositional changes
during the formation of HgSe chalcogenide with a view of fabricating a mercury
sensor.
