Abstract

In this work, Pb(II)N,N-bis(salicylidene)-ethylenediamine; [Pb(salen)]; was applied as lead precursor to synthesis PbSe nanostructures. Besides [Pb(salen)], SeCl4 and reducing agents like N2H4·H2O have been employed for the production of PbSe nanostructures via a solvothermal route at 180 °C for 3 h in propylene glycol. The effect of preparation factors such as temperature, reaction time, and surfactant on the morphology of PbSe nanostructures was investigated. The experimental results indicated that PbSe synthesized at 150 and 210 °C was composed of agglomerated particles. On the other hand, the use of KBH4 as reducing agent led to produce PbSe with higher particle size and agglomeration. The as-prepared PbSe nanostructures were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, and FT-IR.
