Antimony(III)-Doped PbWO₄ Crystals with Enhanced Photoluminescence via a Shape-Controlled Sonochemical Route

Abstract

Sb(III)-doped lead tungstate single crystals with controlled shapes and enhanced green emission have been synthesized via a facile, Pluronic P123 (EO(20)PO(70)EO(20))-assisted, sonochemical method. The surfactant Pluronic P123 was found to play a crucial role in the morphology control of the final products. The growth process was investigated by carefully following time-dependent experiments, and the oriented attachment process accompanying Ostwald ripening was proposed for the possible formation mechanism. The optical properties, such as the Raman spectra and PL spectra, of doped PbWO(4) were studied. Room-temperature photoluminescence of doped PbWO(4) samples with different morphologies at desired Sb doping concentrations showed greatly enhanced luminescence intensity compared to the undoped PbWO(4).

Flowerlike PbS Microcrystals: Citric Acid Assisted Synthesis, Shape Evolution, and Electrical Conductivities

“…[1][2][3] During the past few years, many efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of microcrystals and nanocrystals with various shapes such as nanorods, nanowires, nanocubes, nanobelts, nanotubes, hierarchical nanostructures, and star-shaped nanocrystals. [4] Even now, the synthesis of multimorphology particles with controllable shape is still an important and interesting topic.…”
