The invention discloses a preparation method of lead molybdate dendritic crystal. Firstly a sodium molybdate solution, a lead nitrate solution, a sodium potassium tartrate solution, a polyvinylpyrrolidone solution are prepared, and then the lead nitrate solution is mixed with the sodium potassium tartrate solution to obtain a lead tartrate precipitation solution, the sodium molybdate solution is mixed with the polyvinylpyrrolidone solution, the lead tartrate precipitation solution is mixed with a mixed solution of sodium molybdate and polyvinylpyrrolidone, then water is evaporated, an obtainedprecursor is placed in a corundum crucible, and microwave reaction is performed for 10 to 30 minutes to obtain the lead molybdate dendritic crystal. The preparation method of the lead molybdate dendritic crystal, provided by the invention, has the advantages of controllable morphology, simple process, low cost and the like, industrial production is easy to realize, and the obtained lead molybdatedendritic crystal has very good application prospects in the fields such as optical fiber, luminescent materials, acousto-optic devices and photocatalysts.
