Abstract

Single-crystal PbSO₄ (anglesite) nanorods with different diameter and aspect ratios have been synthesized by a microemulsion technique in a SDS/hexane/hexanol/water microemulsion. The effect of concentration of reactants, concentration of surfactants, and temperature on the crystallization of PbSO₄ nanorods was investigated. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of well-defined uniform PbSO₄ nanorods give two strong emission bands at 410 and 435 nm, and the weak emission at 340 nm almost cannot be detected at an excitation energy of 4.6−5.17 eV. As the excitation energy decreases, the 380 nm emission becomes intensified. When the excitation energy is larger than 5 eV in the range of 5.39−5.90 eV, only the blue band at 380 nm was observed.
