Abstract
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) stands as a vital II-VI group compound semiconductor material characterized by its wide bandgap, high electron mobility, and remarkable chemical stability. Its versatility is widely recognized across domains including photocatalysis, optoelectronics, semiconductor devices, biomedical applications, and tribology. The current focal point of research centers around the precise preparation of ZnS nanoparticles with controlled particle size, uniform distribution, exceptional performance, and high stability. This review offers an overview of the various methods employed for the synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles, accompanied by an analysis of the distinguishing features of each synthesis technique. The paper also elucidates the characteristics of ZnS nanomaterials and their existing applications in diverse fields while outlining the prospects for future developments in this domain.
