Abstract: The main areas of work are related to the synthesis of a two-phase composite (1-x)PbSe·xPbSeO₃ in the form of a powder, faceted single crystal, film and compacted material with the possibility of changing the fraction (x) of the PbSeO₃ phase from 0 to 1 by oxidation of PbSe in a dry atmosphere in the temperature range 20-550 °С and the study of its physicochemical properties. All initial samples are obtained by the original method from Pb_1-ySe_y powder, in which the composition corresponds to the maximum melting temperature of the compound and is defined as y_smax=0.500025±0.000025 at. Se. The powder is crushed, after which homogenizing annealing is performed at a constant temperature (~750 °C) in a dynamic vacuum in order to achieve the minimum general pressure condition. The noted precursor-related technological procedures are necessary to achieve congruent evaporation conditions in all types of samples and help minimize the concentration of inherent defects and inclusions in phase two. Depending on application, it is possible to form crystalline powders with a given ratio of volumetric phases PbSe and PbSeO3 in a separate grain. For all cases, the "shell" for semiconductor particles PbSe is the dielectric phase PbSeO₃. The principal possibility of forming the smallest (up to nanometer) grains of lead selenide in the dielectric matrix of lead selenite is shown. According to the proposed method, the synthesis of lead selenite by oxidation of lead selenide is possible.

Abstract: The synthesis of high-quality monodispersed nanocrystal is very important. Typical synthetic method is rapid nucleation by injection of an organometallic precursor into a solvent maintaining the reaction temperature. Since these methods are discontinuous processes, they are not efficient for large-scale production of monodisperse nanocrystals. In this study, continuous microchannel reaction technique is presented for synthesis of monodisperse lead selenide nanocrystals in a diphenyl ether as high-temperature organic media. The microchannel reactor was used due to its possibility of continuous process and reproducibility of narrow size distribution in nanocrystal synthesis. The synthesis was carried out in microchannel reactor (800 μm diameter) made from PTFE. Lead oleate and TOP-Se were used as organic precursor and diphenyl ether as high-temperature organic solvents. Lead selenide particles with a size of less than 10nm could be continuously prepared by this method. The nanocrystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, TEM and optical absorption spectrometer.
