Synthesis and Characterization Studies of Pb:Zr:/O2 Nanorods for Optoelectronic Applications

Abstract

Synthesis and Characterization Studies of Pb:Zr:/O2 Nanorods for Optoelectronic Applications In the present work, we have synthesized ZrO2 doped PbO2 nanocrystals were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method which is Zirconium nitrate hydrate (Zr(NO3)4.5H2O) and lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) were used as a precursor. In the experimental results show that the amount of Iodine (I) and the NaOH concentration plays a important roles in the formation of hexagonal defined amount of ethylene glycol at 900 °C within 21 hrs. In the physiochemical properties of Zr doped lead oxide nanorod were determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). In Zr doped Pb oxide nanorods were the highest photon activity under both UV and visible light irradiation.
