Abstract

Pure lead titanate (PbTiO3) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by novel sol–gel method with the aid of Pb(CH3COO)2·3H2O, Ti(OC4H9)4 (TNBT), and glucose without adding external surfactant. Moreover, glucose plays role as reducing agent, and natural template in the synthesis PbTiO3 nanoparticles. The structural, morphological and optical properties of as obtained products were characterized by techniques such X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. To evaluate the photocatalyst properties of nanocrystalline lead titanate, the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under ultraviolet light irradiation was carried out.
