(Currently, the best performing photoconductor is based on lead sulfide nanoparticles.) ...

These nanoparticles are ubiquitous in nature, and the formation of FeS minerals is driven by the reaction between ferrous compounds and the free sulfide predominantly produced by sulfate-reducing ...

Artistic illustration of lead sulfide quantum dots as they undergo structural changes when exposed to light, with lead atoms temporarily shifting to a new position.

In " Nanotechnology in Cosmetics - 2000 Years Ago...," Nanowerk Spotlight reports they were using lead compounds which generated lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals with a diameter of only 5 nanometers.

Sargent’s solution includes lead sulfide nanoparticles (measuring four nanometers) and an oily molecule to keep them from clumping together.

Alternative thin-film materials being studied in Carter’s lab include lead sulfide and copper sulfide. In another recent paper in Applied Physics Letters (published online on July 28, 2010), she and ...

The combination of carbon nanotubes and lead sulfide nanoparticles was performed using an effective and relatively simple process that offers considerable latitude for creating other nanohybrids ...

Nanoparticle superlattices have properties that are different from both the individual particles and the bulk material. Ions and molecules called ligands bind particles together in these superlattices ...
