Abstract
A stable aqueous colloid solution of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles was obtained by chemical condensation using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt. The mechanism of prolonged aggregative stability of solution at pH 7–8 with ~7-nm nanoparticles was determined as a result of the zeta potential measurements by dynamic light scattering. The blue and red shifts of the fundamental absorption edge of zinc sulfide semiconductor nanoparticles associated with the small size of nanoparticles and the defective state of their surface were found by optical spectrophotometry.
