General description

Lead (II) oxide is amphoteric in nature, capable of reacting with both acid and base. It exists in two forms, litharge and massicot. Lead (II) oxide is commonly used in making lead glass and glazing pottery. Addition of PbO (as a dopant) to Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite increases the densification rate and final sintered density, whereas activation energy of densification was reduced.

Application

Lead(II) oxide (PbO) has been used in the preparation of (Pb0.93La0.07)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 powder (PLZT 7/65/35), (Pb0.97La0.03)(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PLZT) ceramics and (Pb0.84Ba0.16)(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3 (PBZT) ceramics.

Enhanced functionality of electro-optic devices by implementing piezoelectric micro fibers into their construction is proposed. Lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics are known to exhibit high light transparency, desirable electro-optic properties and fast response. In this study PLZT fibers
