Lead carbonate hydroxide nanostructures: a new hydrothermal synthesis in the presence of ethylenediamine and hydrazine and investigation photocatalytic behavior

摘要

Lead carbonate hydroxide hydrate and lead oxide carbonate hydroxide nanostructures (NSs) were synthesized by hydrothermal method in the presence of ethylenediamine (en) as surfactant, for the first time. Alkylating the reaction mixture by en, the rate of formation of lead carbonate hydroxide NSs was accelerated. In this study, morphology, structure, and particle size of lead carbonate hydroxide NSs were controlled by adjusting amounts of hydrazine and en. The structure and morphology of the products were studied by XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. The photocatalytic activity of lead carbonate hydroxide NSs was investigated in the presence four organic dyes.
