Morphological and Optical Characterization of Zinc Sulphide Nanostructure Synthesized by Green Route of Musa Peels

Abstract

Abstract

Zinc sulphide nanoparticles are very good candidate for optoelectronic applications. In this paper we have reported green synthesis of zinc sulphide nanoparticles using Musa peels available in abundance as organic waste. Various precursor ratios and various extract concentrations were used. The samples obtained were analyzed using optical and morphological characterization. Strong blue shift in absorption edges was observed for increasing concentration of thiourea. It also was influenced by concentration of peel extract, which indicates the effective role of peel in nanostructure formation. The samples also show reasonable luminescence in visible or UV region to make them suitable for various optoelectronic applications.
