The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) of copper doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Cu) nanoparticles were investigated. These ZnS:Cu nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile wet chemical method, with the copper concentration varying from 0 to 2 mol%. By Gaussian fitting, the PL spectrum of the undoped ZnS nanoparticles was deconvoluted into two blue luminescence peaks (centered at 411 nm and 455 n...

The design of synthetic nanoparticles (NPs) capable of recognizing given chemical entities in a specific and predictable manner is of great fundamental and practical importance. Herein, we report a simple, fast, water-soluble, and green phosphine free colloidal synthesis route for the preparation of multifunctional enzyme-capped ZnS bionanocomposites (BNCs) with/without transitional metal-ion d...

P-type transparent conducting films of nanocrystalline (CuS)x:(ZnS)1-x were synthesized by facile and low-cost chemical bath deposition. Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to evaluate the nanocomposite structure, which consists of sub-5 nm crystallites of sphalerite ZnS and covellite CuS. Film transparency can be controlled ...

Highly photoluminescent and water dispersible ternary alloyed Mn-doped ZnSeS core/shell Mn:ZnSeS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) with pure dopant emission were synthesized through a simple aqueous route using thiolactic acid (2-MPA) as capping ligand. Transmission electron microscopy X-ray diffraction show that Mn:ZnSeS nanocrystals are of spherical shape, diameter 2.4 nm cubic zinc blende structure. Wi...

5% Fe- and Mn-doped nano-ZnS (Zn0.95A0.05S, A?=?Fe or Mn) was prepared using the thermolysis technique. The effect of Fe Mn doping on lattice parameter, crystallite size, microstrain examined applying Rietveld refinement. analysis showed incorporation substitutionally for Zn ions; a result confirmed by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy spectra from shift in vibration bands upon doping. e...

We propose a codoping method of using acceptors and donors simultaneously as a solution to the crucial doping problem, or unipolarity, of wide-band-gap semiconductors which exhibit an asymmetry in their ability to be doped as n-type or p-type. The deliberate codoping of donors is essential for the enhancement of acceptor incorporation, decrease of the binding energy of the acceptor impurity and...

Nowadays efficient down conversion for white light emission is mainly based on rare-earth doped phosphors or cadmium-containing quantum dots. Although they exhibit high luminescence efficiency, the rare-earth mining and cadmium pollution have so far led to extremely high environmental cost, which conflicts the original purpose of pursuing efficient lighting. Here, we explore a new strategy to a...
