Thin films of photoactive α-PbO have been prepared on fluorine doped tin oxide substrates using spray pyrolysis in the range of 380°C to 470°C. SEM showed the formation of interconnected PbO grains with increase in grain size at elevated temperature. The Raman peak at 147 cm−1 shows the formation of...
