Abstract: Phase pure β-PbO2nanorods with diameter of 10-20 nm and length up to 400 nm with an aspect ratio >20 were synthesized through direct oxidation of Pb(Ac)2by NaClOunder alkaline conditions. The obtained β-PbO2nanorods were then decomposed at 420 ℃ to produce Pb3O4nanocrystals with crystallite size ~20 nm. The reaction conditions were optimized on the basis of detailed investigations of the influences of reaction temperature, time, concentraion of NaClO, and pHon the products. Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscope were employed for the characterization of the structure, compositions and morphology of the obtained nanocrystalline products.
