Abstract

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel mercury selenide (HgSe) nanoparticles by sonochemical method. The HgSe nanoparticles have been prepared using [N,N′-bis(salicylaldehydo)ethylenediamine] mercury(II), [Hg(salen)] complex, as a novel precursor. The effects of the different capping agents, such as sodium dodecyl-benzene-sulfonate, polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone on the particle size and morphology of the samples have been investigated. The effect of different parameters, such as: temperature, power of irradiation, and reducing agent were also examined. These nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
