Abstract
Four different mediums have been developed for the synthesis of PbSe nanostructures with different size and morphology The particles were obtained in solid state medium with size of only 60 nm on average which are much smaller than those gained in liquid and molten state mediums The growth mechanisms of these PbSe nanostructures were discussed Results show that the state of medium have a direct impact on the size of PbSe nanostructures and the alkalinity of environment plays a key part in the formation of PbSe nanocubes On the other hand the electrochemical property of two typical nanostructures was studied In the CV curves there are four reaction peaks corresponding to oxidation of the PbSe and PbOH2 and the reduction of PbO2 and PbOH2 Otherwise nanorods with size of only 60 nm have greater structural stability than nanocubes
