Preparation of ZnS/CdS composite nanoparticles by coprecipitation from reverse micelles using CO2 as antisolvent

ZnS–Graphene nanocomposite: Synthesis, characterization and optical properties

“…There have been various methods to synthesize nanoscale ZnS particles, including the single-source molecular precursor [9,10], microemulsions [11], solvothermal route [12,13], and direct elemental reaction route [14]. Generally, in order to avoid ZnS nanoparticles agglomeration, synthetic polymer, microgel [15], mesoporous silicate materials [16] and other organic/surfactant stabilizer were adopted as the stabilizing or supporting materials to keep the size of ZnS in the nano-range, such as sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate [17], L-cysteine, mercaptoethanol [18], and cetyltrimethylammonium [19][20][21]. Meanwhile, ZnS-based namocomposites containing CdZnS-PCV (PCV: polymerized cetyl-p-vinylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride) [22], (CdSe)ZnS-(NBPBD) 300 (NBP) 20 (NBPBD: 2-[4-(5-norbornenylmethoxy-carbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl]-5-(4-t-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole; NBP: 5-norbornene-2-yl-CH 2 O(CH 2 ) 5P(oct) 2 ) [23] have been reported.…”

Synthetic Routes to the Encapsulation of II–VI Semiconductors in Mesoporous Hosts

“…Surface modification of the silicate framework is not necessary to encapsulate II–VI nanoparticles prepared in reverse micelles into the mesoporous host if a gas antisolvent technique (supercritical CO 2 ) is used, rather than solution loading of the reverse micelles 53. It has been found that by adding compressed CO 2 to a MS–micellar solution leads to the removal of MS nanoparticles from the hydrophilic core of the micelle 54. ZnS has been loaded into MCM‐41 using this technique, where CO 2 is added to a dispersion of ZnS–reverse micelles and calcined MCM‐41 53.…”

Development of cathode materials for magnesium primary cell

“…ZnS nanoparticles may be synthesized using a variety of methods, such as chemical [20,21], solvothermal route [22,23], single-source molecular precursor [24,25] and direct elemental reaction route [26,27]. In order to avoid the agglomeration of ZnS nanoparticles, materials such as microgel, synthetic polymer, mesoporous silicate materials and other organic surfactants (sodium bis (2-ethyl hexyl) sulfosuccinate) are used as a supporting or stabilising material [28][29][30].…”
