Until now most work on colloidal quantum dot-light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) has been focused on the improvement of the electroluminescent (EL) performance of monochromatic devices, and multi-colored white QLEDs comprising more than one type of QD emitter have been rarely investigated. To demonstrate a white EL as a result of color mixing between blue and yellow, herein a unique combination of tw...

Colloidal nanodispersions of ZnS have been prepared using aqueous micellar solution of two cationic surfactants of trimethylammonium/pyridinium series with different head groups i.e., cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and cetyltrimethylpyridinium chloride (CPyC). The role of these surfactants in controlling size, agglomeration behavior and photophysical properties of ZnS nanoparticles has ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zonisamide (ZNS) for the treatment of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs). METHODS Thirteen patients with different types of IGEs who were treated with ZNS between the years 2006 and 2008 were identified. Efficacy and tolerability were assessed at months 6 and 12 post-treatment. Response was defined as a 50% ...

Thin films of ZnS have been deposited by MOCVD on both BaTa206/ITO/glass and Si substrates. Diethylzinc (DEZn) and H2S are used for deposition on substrates heated to the 250-400°C temperature range. The microstructure and properties of ZnS films were studied by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometry (UVS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Films prepared on BaTa...

Recently, ZnS quantum dots have attracted a lot of attention since they can be a suitable alternative for cadmium-based quantum dots, which are known to be highly carcinogenic for living systems. However, the structural stability of nanocrystalline ZnS seems to be a challenging issue since ZnS nanoparticles have the potential to undergo uncontrolled structural change at room temperature. Using ...

ZnS thin film properties are overviewed in this research paper. These include absorbance, transmittance, optical band gap, refractive index and structure (on the basis of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy). It has been observed that these film properties are dependent on various parameters e.g. thickness of the film, deposition method, deposition rate, substrate material, subst...

Template growth and catalytic growth are two typical mechanisms for the solution-chemistry synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) II-VI semiconductor nanomaterials. Here, we systematically demonstrate the competition relationship between them by tuning the synthesis of 1D ZnS nanostructures in different chain-length primary alkyl-amines. The template growth, derived from the coordination effect of a...

The solid state thermal, one pot, efficient chemical reaction between Zn and S or Se elements in a closed reactor at 650 degrees C/60 min under their autogenic pressure in an inert atmosphere yielded luminescent ZnS and ZnSe semiconducting nanopowders (NPs). Scanning and Transmission electron microscopy measurements confirmed the size and shape of the as formed ZnS and ZnSe NPs. The wide size d...

Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique has been used to deposit composite multilayers of poly(3-octylthiophene) with cadmium arachidate (POT-CdA), zinc arachidate (POT-ZnA) and copper arachidate (POT-CuA). These composite multilayers were used as precursors to develop the respective semiconducting CdS, ZnS and Cu2S nanoclusters in the POT-arachidic acid (POT-AA) matrix. The formation of sulphide nano...

CuGaS2, (AgInS2)x-(ZnS)2-2x, Ag2ZnGeS4, Ni- or Pb-doped ZnS, (ZnS)0.9-(CuCl)0.1, and ZnGa0.5In1.5S4 showed activities for CO2 reduction to form CO and/or HCOOH in an aqueous solution containing K2SO3 and Na2S as electron donors under visible light irradiation. Among them, CuGaS2 and Ni-doped ZnS photocatalysts showed relatively high activities for CO and HCOOH formation, respectively. CuGaS2 wa...
