10. Preparation of α-monoclinic selenium nanowires and TEM specimens: sodium selenite and glutathione were purchased from the Shanghai Chemical Company and used without further purification. Sodium selenite (2.5 mmol) was dissolved in 500 ml double-distilled water in a glass beaker and glutathione (10 mmol) was subsequently added to react with the sodium selenite. During the above-mentioned process, the solution was stirred magnetically at 150 rpm. This solution was then kept still at room temperature for twelve days. During the storing process, the solution slowly became red in color and dark red products deposited from the solution. At various stages during the storing process, several droplets of solution containing products were deposited on Cu grids coated with C films and dried in air at room temperature for observation by TEM.
