Lead Nanopowder as Advanced Semi-Conductor, An Insight

Abstract

This work reports aspect related to semi-conducting nature of nano-sized particles of lead. This attempt finds its semiconducting behaviors elaborately and such advanced insight has so far not been said in literatures. New findings of Pb nanopowder (metal) by optical, fluorescence, cyclic voltammetry and four probe studies are presented in this study. UV-Vis analysis confirms the nano nature of the sample i.e. 5 nm and SPR peak confirms its metallic nature. The successful calculations of band gap, temperature dependent resistance value confirm its semi-conducting nature and explore its potential application in various industries. This work throws some light on and helps further research.
