Here we are reporting the synthesis of Zn1–xSnxS (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) nanoparticles and their photoluminescence properties. Zn1–xSnxS nanoparticles were synthesized by using thiourea as a capping agent. All the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique. XRD patterns show the particle size in the range 12-24.5 nm. It was found that, the addition of Sn 2+ ions causes the change in UV and PL spectra of ZnS nanoparticles. A
