“…In this case, smallest particle size (17.72 ± 5.6 nm) was obtained when lead(II) acetate solution concentration was kept at 0.8 M which leads us to a certain NaOH/lead(II) acetate ratio of 18.125. When this ratio was increased, available precursor number per reducer increases, and as a result, a fast accumulation over the seeds occurs and gives rise to larger agglomerates as we observed in the case of elevated NaOH concentrations(23,33).…”

“…Lead(II) oxide is a member of lead(II) binary oxides and has two different crystal structures, α-PbO, litharge (tetragonal form), and β-PbO, massicot (orthorhombic form) which are known as photoactive semiconductor materials (19,20). Particularly, nanosized lead oxide has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years for the wide range of applications as passivation layer (21), as sulfide sensor (22), lead acid battery (23), which in parallel bring out the need for methods of controlled synthesis of nano-sized lead oxides and lead dioxides, however, literature on the synthesis procedures for controlled synthesis of lead-based nanomaterials are still limited. Wilkinson et al (20) have reported the synthesis of tetragonal alpha-lead oxide nanoparticle using a simple co-precipitation method.…”

Nano-sized lead has many versatile applications that could be useful in daily life. In the present work, we report a comprehensive study for preparation of nanosized lead oxide using the co-precipitation method and optimization of reaction parameters to obtain lead oxide (PbO) nanoparticles with homogeneously distributed size, shape, and structure. When aqueous solution of lead(II) acetate was reacted with sodium hydroxide at elevated temperatures, the alpha form of lead oxide nanoparticles, with spherical shape were produced. Decreasing the ratio of sodium hydroxide to lead(II) acetate concentration at moderate temperatures resulted in a gradual change in crystal structure from quasi-spherical α-PbO nanoparticles and two dimensional nanoflakes of beta PbO with a thickness below 100 nm was synthesized for the first time. The particles obtained in both α and β forms were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering equipment (Zetasizer), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Finally, thin layers of freeze-dried α-PbO and β-PbO particle powder on glass and filter paper were formed by the help of nail polisher and conductivity measurements were performed using four-point probes method. Produced layers β-PbO particles of the size below 100 nm showed higher conductivity on both supports as compared to the ones produced from spherical α-PbO nanoparticles. This altered the conductivity of the material in the semiconducting zone, which is probably due to a more effective electron transfer facilitated by 2D alignment of the molecules, could increase the potential use of this material in voltaic and catalysis.

“…On the other side, Lead oxides are very fascinating because several compounds exist, with a variety of oxidation states and mixed‐valence species. These forms include; PbO ( α, β and amorphous), Pb 2 O 3 , Pb 3 O 4 , PbO 2 ( α, β and amorphous) . Lead monoxide (PbO) is a transparent conducting oxide (TCOs) that has a high dielectric constant ( ε′ = 25.9) .…”

Sol–gel synthesized lead monoxide (PbO) nanoparticles were mixed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The dielectric characteristics of PVC/PbO nancomposite films were studied in the temperature range 303–408 K and frequency range 30 kHz–3 MHz. There is a sharp increase in the dielectric constant (ε′), after the glass transition temperature. According to the temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric loss modulus (M″), the observed αa‐relaxation peak is due to the micro‐Brownian motion of the polymer main chains. The behavior of σac (f) for the composite films indicate that the homogenous distribution of PbO nanoparticles allows the formation of conductive three‐dimensional networks throughout the nanocomposite films which assisting the charge carriers to hop from conducting clusters to neighbors. The influences of PbO content on the direct optical band gap and the refractive index of the films are also discussed and compared with those of previous studies of PVC composites. POLYM.

Micron sized hexagon-and flower-like nanostructures of lead oxide (α-PbO2) have been synthesized by very simple and cost effective route of anodic oxidation of lead sheet. These structures were easily obtained by the simple variation of applied voltage from 2-6 V between the electrodes. Lead sheet was used as an anode and platinum sheet served as a cathode. Anodic oxidation at 2 V resulted in the variable edge sized (1-2 μm) hexagon-like structures in the electrolyte. When the applied potential was increased to 4 V a structure of distorted hexagons consisting of some flower-like structures were obtained. Further increment of potential up to 6 V resulted in flower like structures of α-PbO2 having six petals. The diameter of the flower-like structures was ∼200-500 nm and the size of a petal was ∼100-200 nm.
