Luminescence Study of ZnS Quantum Dots Prepared by Chemical Method

Abstract

We report synthesis of ZnS quantum dots by chemical method at room temperature. In this technique, ZnS quantum dots are produced by simple chemical reactions where zeolite, acts as matrix, plays the key role in controlling particle growth during synthesis. Quantum dots exhibit luminescence properties such as Zn2+ related emission, efficient low voltage electroluminescence, and super linear voltage-brightness EL characteristics. This study demonstrates the technological importance of semiconductor nanosystems prepared by low cost chemical route.
