Abstract

In this work, we have successfully prepared rod-like lead tungstate (PbWO4) nanostructures via sonochemical route by utilizing lead (II) acetate trihydrate and sodium tungstate dihydrate as starting materials in water as solvent without adding surfactant. The formation of as-produced nanostructures and their structure, shape and elemental composition were analyzed by means of several techniques including X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of as-prepared lead tungstate nanostructures were also investigated with vibrating sample magnetometer. In addition, methyl orange was chosen as a dye water pollution to evaluate its degradation by as-synthesize lead tungstate under ultraviolet light irradiation. The photocatalysis results reveal that the decolorization of 72 % for methyl orange occurred with PbWO4 nanostructures in 70 min under ultraviolet light irradiation.
