Based on sonochemical technique, large-scale PbS nanobelts are successfully synthesized in the mixed solution of PbCl{sub 2} and Na{sub 2}S{sub 2}O{sub 3}. These nanobelts are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and high-resolution TEM. The as-synthesized PbS nanobelts have width of about 80 nm, length up to several millimeters, and width-to-thickness ratio of about 5. In addition, the growth mechanism of PbS nanobelts is suggested.
