Effects of PVP surfactant and different alkalis on the properties of PbO nanostructures

Electrochemical paraquat sensor based on lead oxide nanoparticles

“…The average crystallite size is found to be 30.78 nm that is smaller than that of the PbO nanoparticle samples prepared by other methods. 33,34 This small size may provide high surface area to interact with paraquat molecules.where D is the average crystallite size, k is the constant (∽0.9), λ is the wavelength of Cu Kα line (1.5405 A°), β is full width at half maximum (FWHM), θ is the Bragg's diffraction angle.…”

Study of double-using ultrasonic effects on the structure of PbO nanorods fabricated by the sonochemical method

“…The bonding of PVP occurs through both nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) ions. Therefore, the surfactant has a significant effect on the shape and the size of the structure; it plays a vital role in the formation of nanostructures [38] . FT-IR spectra were used to analyze the vibrations of the functional groups existing in the samples.…”

“…So far, few studies have been reported on the sonochemical synthesis of lead oxide nanostructures. Yazdani et al [38] used ultrasonic waves to synthesize PbO nano and microstructures by a simple precipitation method. The samples were synthesized using various alkalis as precursors and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a surfactant.…”

Experimental and computational study of metal oxide nanoparticles for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants: a review

“…38,39 More importantly, MONPs have potential applications that attract researchers from the elds of medicine, materials chemistry, materials science, physics, agriculture, electronics, information technology, energy, biomedical, catalysis, sensor, and environment. 40,41 Specically, MONPs have been attracted for their development of new and effective strategies in environmental remediation and energy production. Among these MONPs, CuO, ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , MgO, AgO, SnO 2 , TiO 2 , CeO 2 , PbO, etc., are the most attractive one.…”
