Tungstate based nanomaterials have emerged as important class in transition metal oxide. In this study, Lead tungstate (PbWO 4 ) nanostructures with lamellar morphology were prepared by hydrothermal method. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, DLS, BET and PL. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements indicated that the surface area of the synthesized lamellar morphology was ∼86.225 m 2 g −1 . The lamellar-like morphology showed enhanced peroxidase-like activity owing to the large surface area, higher substrate interaction and efficient electron transportation. The results indicated higher reaction velocity (V max  = 13.56 × 10 −8 M s −1 ) and low Michaelis-Menten constant (km = 0.325 mM) value for nanostructures, providing evidence for higher affinity of novel structures towards the substrate and increased peroxidase-like activity. Finally, biocompatibility test was conducted by performing cytotoxicity experiments of PbWO 4 nanostructures on MTT assays.
