Abstract
Zinc blend ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized by a thioglycolic acid (TGA), HSCH2COOH, assisted hydrothermal technique via the reaction between a new inorganic precursor [bis(2-hydroxyacetophenato)zinc(II)] [Zn(HAP)2] and thioacetamide (CH3CSNH2). The as-synthesized ZnS nanoparticles have an average diameter of 38 ± 2 nm. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The effect of reactant concentration, reaction temperatures and reaction times on crystal structures and shapes of products have been investigated.
