Abstract :
This paper focuses on the controlled size of manganese-doped zinc sulfide nanocrystalline powders made via an easy-to-understand aqueous chemical procedure that eliminates the requirement for a capping agent. It was examined by the size of the ZnS nanoparticles was exaggerated by varying calcination temperatures. Rendering to W-H analysis, ZnS nanoparticles` average crystallite size rose as the calcination temperature rose Spectroscopy of UV-vis in diffused reflectance (DR) mode was employed to analyze optical properties, It demonstrated a notable reflective feature at 420 nm at 500 ?C calcination temperature and a sharp rise in reflectivity at 375 nm. Morphology and elemental compositions were investigated via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As the calcination temperature was elevated, ZnS nanoparticles` average crystallite size grew in accordance with Scherrer`s formula and W-H analysis. UV–vis spectroscopy in diffused reflectance (DR) mode was employed to analyze optical properties, which, at 500 ?C calcination temperature, had a notable reflective characteristic after 420 nm and a sharp rise in reflectivity at 375 nm. In comparison with pure ZnS NPs, Mn-doped ZnS (15 mol%) NPs shown greater antibacterial activity against Shigellaflexneri, Salmonella typhi, E. coli, and Staphylococusaureus.
