CaB2O4/PbO/CuO/Pb3O4/PbB2O4/Pb4O(BO3)2 nanocomposite material and method of making

Abstract

A multiphase particulate nanocomposite material comprising, as determined by X-ray diffraction: a monoclinic CuO crystalline phase; an orthorhombic CaB2O4 crystalline phase; an orthorhombic PbO crystalline phase; an orthorhombic Pb4O(BO3)2 crystalline phase; a tetragonal Pb3O4 crystalline phase, and, a PbB2O4 crystalline phase. The multiphase particulate nanocomposite material has, based on the total number of atoms in the nanocomposite material: an atomic concentration of boron (B) is from about 1 to about 10 atom %; an atomic concentration of calcium (Ca) is from about 5 to about 15 atom %; an atomic concentration of copper (Cu) is from about 5 to about 15 atom %; and, an atomic concentration of lead (Pb) is from about 5 to about 15 atom %.
