Abstract

Nanowires of ZnS were synthesised by using a surfactant assisted hydrothermal approach. The synthesis is based on decomposition of dipyridylzinc thiocyanate with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. The nanostructure was characterized by SEM, XRD and EDX, HR-TEM. The experimental results indicate that the reaction time and concentration of surfactant play key roles in determining the final morphologies of nano-ZnS, and CTAB acts as a molecule-directing template for the growth of nanowires.
