Facile fabrication of wurtzite ZnS hollow nanospheres using polystyrene spheres as templates

Core/Shell Nanoparticles: Classes, Properties, Synthesis Mechanisms, Characterization, and Applications

“…In this technique, the core can be easily removed from the core/shell particle by either dissolution using a suitable solvent, acid, or alkali solution, or by calcination at higher temperatures to create the hollow particle. The organic or polymer cores, especially polystyrene ,,− ,,, or different polystyrene-based copolymers ,,, are more commonly used. However, some other polymers ,, and organic aggregates ,, are also used for the synthesis of different inorganic hollow particles.…”

Solvothermal Synthesis of Well‐Disperse ZnS Nanorods with Efficient Photocatalytic Properties

“…Among various nanomaterials, semiconductor nanomaterials, especially metal chalcogenide nanomaterials, have been studied in depth due to their optical and electronic properties arising from the quantum confinement effect and large surface area [2]. In this paper, a solvothermal method is used to synthesize highquality ZnS nanorods, an important wide bandgap (E g of 3.66 eV at room temperature) II-VI group semiconductor, which is highly desirable in potential applications such as electroluminescence devices, photoluminescence devices, and semiconductor quantum well devices, flat-panel display, infrared windows, sensors, and lasers [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Bandgap Saturation in Room Temperature Synthesized Cobalt Doped ZnS Nanoparticles

“…This kind of nanomaterials exhibits unusual physical and chemical properties in contrast with their bulk components, such as size-dependent modification of the bandgap energy. Doping impurities into nanoparticles is an effective approach for tuning their electronic, magnetic, constitutional, and optical properties for different desired applications [3]. In specific, when doped with magnetic ions (e.g.…”
