Calorimetric investigation of the formation of ZnS nanoparticles in w/o microemulsions

Sonochemical synthesis and measurement of optical properties of zinc sulfide quantum dots

“…All ILs, namely 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([C 4 [20]. All ionic liquids were analyzed by NMR, Karl-Fischer titration for water content, and ion chromatography for chloride content.…”

“…Among them, zinc sulfide, ZnS, has attracted much research interest because of its excellent properties and applications in laser devices [2], mesoscopic electronic and optical devices [3], light-emitting diode (LED), thin film solar cells, IR windows [4], etc. Many methods have been developed for the preparation of ZnS NPs including solid-phase reactions [5], sol-gel process [6], solvothermal route [7,8], sonochemical method [9,10], liquid-phase chemical precipitation [11], ion complex transformation method [12], and microwave irradiation [13].…”

The Formation and Transformation of Crystalline Dispersions as Studied by Thermal Analysis

“…In recent years, W/O microemulsions have found numerous applications as ''microreactors'' for specific reactions (for comprehensive reviews, see Refs. Furthermore, microemulsions have been used as microreactors for the synthesis of nanosized particles for various applications [93,95] such as metal clusters (Pt, Pd, Rh, Au) for catalysis [100,101], semiconductor clusters [102][103][104] (ZnS, CdS, etc. Thus, it has been shown that hydrophilic enzymes can be solubilized without loss of enzymatic activity and used to catalyze various chemical and photochemical reactions [96,97].…”

Long chain polymer assisted synthesis of flower-like cadmium sulfide nanorods via hydrothermal process

“…Among binary compound semiconductors, cadmium sulfide (CdS) is representative of group II due to its wideband gap of 2.42 eV at room temperature and has wide potential application in many fields, such as photoluminescence devices and solar cells [1][2][3][4].…”
