PbS - Nanoparticles Embedded in Polymer Matrix: Preparation and Characterization

Abstract

Formation of nano-sized PbS in PEO – polymer matrix at room temperature is being reported. SEM showed the particle size distribution while TEM affirmed the formation of nano particulates of PbS. The size distribution was fur-ther supported by UV/VIS absorption of the colloid. At room temperature a wide variation in the size of the particles was observed depend on sulfuration and salt concentration. The detailed characterization of these nano -PbS doped in polymer electrolyte are also discussed.
