Abstract
Sulfide (ZnS)(Ag2S)x heteronanostructures of various composition were obtained by co-deposition from water colloidal solutions of silver and zinc nitrates using sodium sulfide as a sulfidizer and sodium citrate as a stabilizer. The formation of (ZnS)(Ag2S)x heteronanostructures was confirmed using the XRD, HAADF-STEM, SEM, EDX and Raman spectroscopy. The size of ZnS and Ag2S nanoparticles in heteronanostructures (ZnS)(Ag2S)x with x ≤ 0.01 is 2–4 and no more than 3 nm, respectively. Raman spectroscopy showed that addition of silver sulfide nanoparticles into (ZnS)(Ag2S)x heteronanostructures leads to Ag2S deposition onto the surface of ZnS nanoparticles. Doping ZnS with only 1 mol.% of colloidal Ag2S nanoparticles is sufficient to produce a silver sulfide shell on the surface of ZnS nanoparticles.
