Abstract

Star-shaped and rod-like PbS crystals have been successfully prepared by a novel thioglycolic acid (TGA) assisted hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that the PbS crystals are of the cubic rock-salt structure and well formed. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations show that the morphology of PbS nanocrystals is easily controlled according to sulphur source, lead source, and pH value. Furthermore, the paper gives a preliminary presntation of the mechanism and the critical role of the TGA-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of PbS nanorods
