Abstract

In this paper, lead oxide (PbO) nanoparticles were synthesized by sonochemical processing. Lead chloride (PbCl2.6H2O), ethanol (C2H5OH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and deionized water were used as the initial materials. The ultrasonic irradiation time plays the most important role in the size and morphology of the final products. Sonochemical processes at different sonication time were carried out at synthesis temperature (25 oC) and then the materials were washed and dried at room temperature for 48 h. To determine the crystallite size and particle size, also evaluation of the crystal structure and morphological properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used. The results show that the size of the particles is ranged from 28-43 nm and the average size of the crystallite for two stable phases detected by XRD (Litharge and lead monoxide) is about 6-10 nm. The morphology of particles is spherical and semi spherical..
