Abstract
Our goal in this research was to obtain pure and zinc doped lead oxide nanostructure through chemical root method. 0.04M aqueous solution of lead nitrate and zinc chloride was mixed with 0.08M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide for making reaction solution. 0.001M aqueous solution of TEA ((Tri Ethanol Amine) was also added to reaction solution. The prepared pure and Zn doped lead oxide nanostructure was characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED) pattern reveals the crystalline nature of the sample. The prepared pure and doped lead oxide consists of the average crystallites about 12 and 5nm respectively. Optical band gap of pure and doped lead oxide sample are 5.17 and 5.5eV obtained respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra were investigated for both the sample. The PL spectrum shows peaks in UV region at 356nm, blue regions around 421nm and in green region around 544nm. The spectra show a strong emission band around 421nm.
