Properties of Mechanochemically Synthesized ZnS Nanoparticles

Abstract: The bulk and surface properties of mechanochemically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied. XRD, SEM, TEM (HRTEM), AFM, UV-VIS, low temperature nitrogen sorption as well as TPR characterization methods have been applied. Cubic ZnS nanocrystals (2-4 nm) with characteristic blue shift have been obtained by high-energy milling. There is an evidence of the nanocrystal aggregates formation in products of milling. The surface uniformity, homogeneity as well as enhanced uptake of hydrogen have been documented.

“…Fig. 19c shows a well-defined cluster of B4 nm with the hexagonal profile and rhombic internal contrast that are characteristic for a truncated 350 octahedron particle observed in the (011) zone axis. The HRTEM images allow defects to be found in the nanocrystalline material, as marked with an arrow in Fig.…”

“…is closer to that of CdS (2.4 eV) than the hexagonal wurtzite ZnS, 55 which has a band gap of 3.9 eV. Current conventional synthesis 56 routes for ZnS include chemical precipitation [5], electro-explosion 57 of wire [6], pulsed laser deposition at 600°C [4], ultrasonic spray 58 pyrolysis at 700°C with argon [7], and high-energy milling [8]. 59 Metal sulfide NPs have also been produced using endogenous 60 methods such as heavy metal tolerance and detoxification processes 61 such as reaction with hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) [9].…”
