Abstract
Lead molybdate ($PbMoO_4$) were successfully synthesized using a facile surfactant-assisted hydrothermal process and characterized by XRD, Raman, PL, BET and DRS. We also investigated the photocatalytic activity of these materials for the decomposition of Rhodamine B under UV-light irradiation. From XRD and Raman results, well-crystallized $PbMoO_4$ crystals have been successfully synthesized with a facile surfactant-assisted hydrothermal process and had 52-69 nm particle size. The $PbMoO_4$ catalysts prepared at $160^{\circ}C$ showed the highest photocatalytic activity. The PL peak was appeared at about 540 nm at all catalysts and it was also shown that the excitonic PL signal was proportional to the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of Rhodamine B.
