Abstract

Elaborate design of multifunction materials is of great scientific and technological significance; but it is a great challenge. Here, a lead borate is successfully prepared via a facile solvothermal method. The results of XRD, SEM and TEM show the product is a kind of whiskers with uniform structure and high length–diameter ratio, which is represented as Pb3B10O16[OH]4. The whisker is capable of attenuating both γ-rays and neutrons and shows a little difference with that of the equal molar mass of Pb and B in mixture. In addition, the whisker displays good photoluminescence properties, especially for luminescent intensity. These significant results indicate an integrated multifunction whisker that will stimulate new application research.
