Electrodeposition of Nanostructured Mesoporous Selenium Films

  • Chapter
Thin Films: Preparation, Characterization, Applications

Abstract

The preparation and design of materials with controlled nanoarchitectures has emerged as an active research area which is of fundamental as well as technological importance. In particular materials with tailor-made pore sizes and shapes in the mesoporous domain (2–50 nm) have received considerable attention because of their potential value in applications such as shape-selective catalysis, molecular sieving, chemical sensing and selective adsorption1–4.
