A simple one Step Thermochemical Approach for Synthesis of ZnS:Mn Nanocrystals (NCs)

In this work we have synthesized ZnS:Mn nanocrystals (NCs) using a simple one step thermochemical method. $Zn(NO_3)_2$ and $Na_2S_2O_3$ were used as the precursors and $Mn(NO_3)_2$ was the source of impurity. Thioglycolic acid (TGA) was used as the capping agent and the catalyst of the reaction. The...

Summary:In this work we have synthesized ZnS:Mn nanocrystals (NCs) using a simple one step thermochemical method. $Zn(NO_3)_2$ and $Na_2S_2O_3$ were used as the precursors and $Mn(NO_3)_2$ was the source of impurity. Thioglycolic acid (TGA) was used as the capping agent and the catalyst of the reaction. The structure and optical property of the NCs were characterized by means of X- ray diffraction (XRD), HRTEM, UV-visible optical spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses demonstrated cubic phase ZnS:Mn NCs with an average size around 3 nm. Synthesized NCs exhibited band gap of about 4 eV. Photoluminescence spectra showed a yellow-orange emission with a peak located at 585 nm, demonstrating the Mn incorporation inside the ZnS particles.
