Lead sulfide, PbS, nanoparticles have been synthesized using a number of surface capping agents including poly(vinyl-alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) PVP, gelatin, DNA, polystyrene (PS), and poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA). The electronic absorption spectra and particle shapes have been found to depend on the capping molecules used. An excitonic feature at 580 nm was observed for capping with PVA and DNA, while no such excitonic feature was observed for PVP, PS or PMMA. A weak excitonic feature was observed for gelatin. The particle shape varied from cubic, needle to spherical as controlled by the capping agents. For the DNA-capped PbS nanocrystals, HRTEM demonstrated the presence of oval crystals with a diameter of 3−8 nm. Powder X-ray diffraction of the PbS-DNA nanocrystals showed the characteristic peaks for PbS at 2.97, 3.43, and 2.10 A. The XRD suggested the size of the nanoparticles to be approximately 4 nm. The dynamics of photoinduced electrons in PbS nanoparticles have been determined usi...
