Characterization of biosynthesized zinc sulphide nanoparticles using edible mushroom Pleurotuss ostreatu

Structural, spectral and electrical properties of green synthesized ZnS nanoparticles using Elaeocarpus floribundus leaf extract

“…No diffraction peaks corresponding to impurities are observed, indicating the high purity of the obtained product. The average crystallite size of the synthesized ZnS nanoparticles from the prominent (111) plane is calculated using Debye-Scherrer formula [19] …”

“…The calculated lattice constant values are different from the bulk value (5.42 Å ) indicating the presence of strain in the samples. Hence, the average strain (e str ) of the ZnS nanoparticles is calculated using Stokes-Wilson equation [19]:…”

“…Green syntheses of ZnS nanoparticles have been reported by using microbes (Rhodobacter sphaeroides) [18]. In our earlier works [19,20] we have reported that Fungus can be used for the synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles. But the potential of the plants as biological materials for the synthesis of this technologically important semiconductor material is yet to be fully explored.…”

Honey Mediated Green Synthesis of Photoluminiscent Zns Nano/Micro Particles

“…Still, there is much more space for the improvement in bio-based methods of synthesis for metal and semiconductor nanoparticles. Although, ZnS nanoparticles had been biogenically synthesized recently using edible mushroom Pleutotuss ostreatu [25], it has not yet been prepared using honey. In this paper, we have described the green synthetic protocol for the preparation of ZnS nano/microstructures using honey as the stabilizing agent.…”

Synthesis and characterization of biopolymer protected zinc sulphide nanoparticles

“…Green chemical route for the synthesis of ZnS nano have been in practice [6,7]. In some of our resent works also, we have reported on such preparations using edible mushrooms [8,9] and Elaeocarpus floribundus leaf extract [10].…”
