Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles Selenium

Abstract

The reaction of sodium selenite source with various extracted orange covers in an acidic suspension during ambient circumstances has been devised as a simple sol gel technique to generate selenium nanoparticles.
The selenium nanoparticles were stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol. A high-speed centrifuge can be used to isolate the nanoparticles from their sol, and a sonicator can be used to redisperse them in an aqueous media.
The produced selenium nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible optical absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods.
