Synthesis and characterization of pure and Zn doped lead hydroxide nano structure through chemical root method

Abstract In this research our aim was to obtain pure and Zn doped lead hydroxide nanostructure by chemical root method. For making reaction solution we used 0.04 M aqueous solution of lead nitrate and zinc chloride was mixed with 0.08 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide 0.001 M aqueous solution of TEA (Tri Ethanol Amine) was also added to reaction solution. Powder was annealed at 190 °C. The prepared pure and Zn doped lead oxide nanostructure was characterized, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photo luminescence of the sample. The prepared pure and doped lead hydroxide consists of the average crystallites about 20 and 12 nm and band gap obtained 4.93 and 5.25 eV respectively. The pure lead oxide phosphor material shows a broad peak at 501 nm (near to Green region) and Zn doped lead oxide show the peak at lower wavelength side 402 nm (blue region).
