Abstract
Synthesis of metal sulfide semiconductor nanoparticles of group II-VI; namely ZnS, PbS, CdS, and CuS; by mechanochemical method was carried out in a high energy ball mill from corresponding metal acetates and sodium sulfide. The samples were continuously milled for 10 h with sample withdrawal at 2 h time interval. Structural properties of nanoparticles were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectra. Particle size distribution and stability of 10 h milled samples were examined using particle size analyzer and Turbiscan. It was found that nanoparticles synthesized by mechanochemical method had mean particle sizes as small as 2–25 nm, low agglomeration, narrow size distribution, and uniformity of particle structure and morphology.
