Abstract:
Lead dioxide has been studied for over 150 years as a component
of the lead-acid battery. Based on first-principles calculations, we
predict that by tuning the concentration ofelectrons in the material,
through control of the defect chemistry, PbO
2
can be rendered from
black to optically transparent, thus opening up applications in the
field of optoelectronics
