Structural, Optical and Thermal Studies on Zinc Sulfide Nanorods and Manganese Sulfide nanoparticles

Nano sized ZnS and MnS2 were synthesized through a simple wet chemical route. In this Synthesis metal sulfides were used as the starting material and allowed to react with the transition metal source at 60°C for 75 minutes. The products were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Photoluminescence spectra (PL), Raman Spectra, Thermogravimetry analysis Differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The crystalline structure of ZnS and MnS2 were confirmed by XRD pattern.
