A novel biological strategy for morphology control of PbWO4 crystals in tomato extract

▶ We synthesize PbWO4 crystals by reaction of tomato extract with PbO2. ▶ The microstructure of PbWO4 crystals could be controlled. ▶ This synthesis procedure is simple, economic, and green. ▶ Wastes can be changed into treasures through this reaction.
