Anisotropic growth of PbO with symmetrical hexagonal-shape nanosheet morphology was demonstrated for the first time via solution phase synthesis in the presence of Au nanoparticles at room temperature. Au NPs play a critical role in the formation of PbO nanosheets. No nanosheets were formed in absen...
