One-Pot Synthesis of Semiconducting PbS Nanorods Within Polyphenylene Sulphide Matrix
Herein we report an extremely simple one-pot synthesis of lead sulphide nanorods inside the engineering thermoplastic (i.e. polyphenylene sulphide) which plays a dual role of stabilizing matrix as well as a chalcogen source. The effect of molar ratios of the reactants on the morphology
of the samples was studied. The prima facie observations suggest the effective formation of 1-D PbS nanorods along with cubic lead as an impurity phase. The average aspect ratio is found to be ∼4 to 42 depending upon the reactant molar ratio.
