Preparation of nanoscale PbSe particles with different morphologies in diethylene glycol

Abstract

Nanoscale PbSe particles with different morphologies including octahedral, tetradecahedral and cubic shapes have been successfully prepared in diethylene glycol (DEG) at 240 °C in the presence of PVP-K30: poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), MW = 50 000. The formation of PbSe is believed to be an elemental recombination process of corresponding elements reduced from their precursors by the solvent. Experimental results showed that a prominent morphological variation was observed through varying the molar ratios of selenius acid to Pb2+ when Pb(Ac)2 was used as lead precursor, while the sizes of the final PbSe products tended to increase along with the increase of the molar ratios of selenius acid to Pb2+ when Pb(NO3)2 was used as lead precursor.
