Abstract: | A simple sonochemical approach for the preparation of PbS nanoparticles homogeneously coated on sub-micrometer silica spheres
has been described. The transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images show that the PbS nanoparticles
with size of 30 nm were coated on the silica spheres, without any free nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction reveals that the PbS
nanoparticles are of cubic rock-salt structure. Moreover, by dissolving the silica cores with a diluted hydrofluoric acid
solution, stable PbS hollow structures were obtained. It is considered that the sonochemical process in which triethanolamine
acted as complex agent played an important role for the homogenouse coating of PbS nanoparticles on silica spheres. |
