Morphology control of anglesite microcrystals with polyhedron: Synthesis, growth mechanism, and optical properties

The formation of novel structure polyhedron-shaped PbSO₄ single crystal by reaction of UV irradiation and hydrothermal treated method is described. The kinetics of crystallization of PbSO₄ assembly is studied as a function of aging time and reaction time. The possible mechanism is also discussed. The effect on the crystallization of PbSO₄ micro-polyhedron under different conditions is investigated. The optical properties are also studied. The results show that tungstocilicate acid (TSA) acting as catalysts and a new class of inorganic scaffolds for the synthesis of materials in crystal engineering and composites design for different applications is versatile reactor and may be extended to the creation of other highly novel inorganic structures with applications in catalysis, novel optical materials and other fields.
