In recent years, high refractive index polythiourethane materials have attracted increasing attention. In this study, the soft segment part of conventional polyurethane was replaced by ethylenedithiol, and a series of nanocomposite films containing Mercaptoethanol (ME) capped ZnS NPs were prepared by UV curing after the synthesis of the bifunctional linear prepolymer with hydroxyethyl acrylate as capping agent and trifunctional prepolymer with trimethylolpropane triacrylate as sulfhydrylate capping. ZnS NPs were well dispersed in the resin system, and the transmittance of the film decreased with the increase of ZnS content, but it did not float much and still has 80% transmittance at 40%. The addition of ZnS had a significant improvement on the refractive index. The RI of the system without the addition of particles was less than 1.5, the system with 40% was greater than 1.6. It was worth noting that the Abbe number was almost greater than 30, which was in the category of low dispersion.

Visible-light responsive g-C 3 N 4 catalysts were successfully prepared by the calcination of urea, i.e., the thermal polycondensation method, and a series of ZnS/g-C 3 N 4 composite photocatalysts were then synthesized using a rapid microwave hydrothermal method . The physicochemical properties of the resulting g-C 3 N 4 and ZnS/g-C 3 N 4 catalysts were characterized via several microscopy and spectroscopy techniques . The reduction of Cr(VI) was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the as-synthesized catalysts under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the calcination temperature substantially affected the crystallinity , specific surface area and photocatalytic performance of g-C 3 N 4 . The optimal temperature for thermal polycondensation in the g-C 3 N 4 synthesis was 600 °C. The bulk g-C 3 N 4 catalyst exhibited no Cr(VI) reduction ability, while a certain amount of ZnS nanoparticles coupling with g-C 3 N 4 significantly improved the Cr(VI) reduction efficiency, creating a synergistic effect between g-C 3 N 4 and ZnS. The simultaneous Cr(VI) reduction and rhodamine B decolorization by the ZnS/g-C 3 N 4 composite catalyst were also accomplished. In addition, a Cr(VI) reduction mechanism under visible light irradiation was proposed.

Refractive index (RI) is an important parameter for contact lens biomaterials. In this paper, a novel polymerizable-group capped ZnS nanoparticle (NP) was synthesized by chemical link between hydroxyl group on the surface of ZnS (ME-capped) and isocyanate group of polymerizable molecule of 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate. Then the ZnS NP copolymerized with monomer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N , N -dimethylacrylamide (DMA) to prepare high refractive index hydrogel contact lens with high content of inorganic ZnS NP. Increasing polymerizable-group capped ZnS content in the hydrogels improved its RI value and mechanical properties, however decreased slightly its transmittance, equilibrium (ESR) and lysozyme deposition on the hydrogel surface. The ZnS-containing hydrogels possessed good cytocompatibility and in vivo biocompatibility in rabbit eyes, demonstrating a potential application as high RI ocular refractive correction biomaterial.

We synthesize zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles with a diameter of ∼5 nm and formulate novel photopolymer/ZnS nanocomposites for holographic recording. By taking advantage of the photoinitibitor, composed of 3,3′-carbonylbis(7-diethylaminocoumarin) (KCD) and N-phenylglycine (NPG), with a capability of spatiotemporally tailoring the grating formation process, we successfully achieve high performance holographic photopolymer/ZnS nanocomposites with as high as 93.6% of diffraction efficiency (η), 26.6 × 10–3 of refractive index modulation (n1), 8.4 per 200 μm of dynamic range, and 9.8 cm/mJ of photosensitivity. In addition, for an aim of roughly describing the grating formation process, we establish a novel exponential correlation between the ZnS nanoparticles segregation degree (SD) and the ratio of photopolymerization gelation time (tgel) to holographic mixture viscosity (v). Finally, we reconstruct and display 3D images that are clearly identifiable to the naked eye through a master technique, opening a versatile class of potential applications in high capacity data storage, stereoadvertisements, and anticounterfeiting.

Temperature detection is crucial for public safety as well as knowledgeable security monitoring and fire sensing systems. Thus, enabling visual warnings for various temperatures is highly significant. Herein, secondary color-changing photonic crystal (PC) coatings were fabricated on the metal substrates based on polydopamine degradation and the crystal structure transformation of ZnS nanoparticles when heated across different temperature ranges. The PC coatings exhibit their first color change within 97 s at 300 °C and a second color change after 700 °C (276 s). This color change enables both automated warning responses via computer algorithms and visual detection by the naked eye, achieving effective visual sensing. The PC coatings can be directly applied to the monitoring surfaces for temperature sensing. When integrated with existing surveillance cameras, no additional equipment is required.

8-Hydroxyquinolines (HQs) functionalized ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) with an amine-capping layer (ZnS–NH 2 –Q NPs) were prepared by a ligand-exchange process. FT-IR, XRD , NMR, TEM and fluorescence spectrometer were used to characterize the novel ZnS–NH 2 –Q NPs. Upon the addition of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), the amino groups on the surface of ZnS–NH 2 –Q NPs can bind TNT molecule from solution by forming Meisenheimer complex. This complex absorbs the green part of visible light, and strongly suppresses the fluorescence emission of the ZnS–NH 2 –Q NPs through Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). The observed linear fluorescence intensity response for TNT in the range of 0–1.89 μM allows the quantitative detection TNT, with a detection limit down to 10 nM.

Tigecycline (TGC), a third-generation, broad-spectrum, potent antimicrobial drug based on a tetracycline structure, may pose potential hazards to ecosystems and human health due to its difficulty in natural degradation in the environment. However, the environmental degradation behavior of TGC has not been fully investigated, so it is still a major challenge to rationally design efficient, stable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective electrocatalysts for TGC degradation. In this study, Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode anchored on copper foam (CF) was synthesized by simple ultrasonic method and two-step electrodeposition. The degradation efficiency of TGC at the Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode was as high as 88.75 % within 30 min under neutral conditions, and the energy consumption was only 0.11 kWh/m³ . In addition, the overall Pd 2+ contribution was as low as 0.00005 M after the introduction of inexpensive ZnS. The Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and degradation of antibiotics under different aqueous environmental conditions. Suitable for degradation of a wide range of antibiotics with excellent cyclic stability. The TGC degradation rate was stabilized above 85.40 % after 240 min of continuous operation in a continuous flow reactor, and the composite electrode prepared once can be used for a long time. It highlights the broad application prospects of the composite electrode in the field of water treatment technology and the significant advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption and stable long-term operation. In this study, the mechanism of action of ·OH and H* with TGC is also deeply investigated, and the dynamics of TGC degradation intermediates are probed using two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, the ecotoxicity of Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrodes is investigated, which provides a simple and feasible idea for the preparation of efficiently degraded antibiotic cathodes.

In this paper, three kinds of ZnS NPs capping different amount of mercaptoethanol (ME) were synthesized, and the effect of capping amount on ZnS NPs was studied, indicating that the capping amount of ME on ZnS surface decreases, while ZnS size increases as the decrease of added capping agent in synthesis process, and ZnS NP capping middle amount of ME (~27.7 wt%) shows a highest apparent refractive index (RI) value. ZnS NPs were composited into polymeric matrices by a simple “one-step” thermocuring method characterized by adding a small amount of functional monomer of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) The reaction mechanism, studied by 1H NMR spectra, indicates that the epoxy of GMA monomer can be easily opened and chemically grafted on ME-capped ZnS surface under the catalysis of DMF, and then copolymerized with other monomer. By the route, ZnS NPs can be composited into pure poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-type (DMA-type), DMA-type copolymer, and DMA-free matrices to fabricate transparent films, and its RI value can be improved by either optimizing capping amount on ZnS surface or increasing ZnS content in the nanocomposites. The RI value of resulting dried nanocomposites can be improved to 1.764 by compositing 80 wt% ZnS capping middle amount of ME.

A novel electrochemical platform based on ZnS-doped graphene (GR-ZnS) nanocomposites was developed to achieve the direct electron transfer between hemoglobin (Hb) and the modified electrode. GR-ZnS nanocomposites were synthesized via noncovalent functionalization of pristine graphene (GR) by 1-aminopyrene and subsequent in situ synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles on the GR surface. During this process, the intrinsic electronic properties of GR could be efficiently protected. The as-prepared GR-ZnS nanocomposites were characterized and identified by means of transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer analysis, indicating the uniform formation of ZnS nanoparticles on the surface of GR. Fourier transform infrared spectra spectroscopic results confirmed that Hb remained its native structure in the nanocomposite material. The GR-ZnS nanocomposites could efficiently promote the direct electron transfer between Hb and electrode with the electron transfer rate constant ( k
s ) of 3.42 s −1 . The modified electrode was then used for the determination of H 2 O 2 based on the electrocatalytic activity of Hb towards H 2 O 2 , which exhibited a linear range from 10 to 250 μM with a detection limit of 1.12 μM. The proposed method to fabricate GR-based hybrid nanomaterials would have a great potential for applications in various fields such as electrochemical sensing, catalytic reaction, and super capacitors.

Polymerizable ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated in N,N′-dimethylacrylamide via a novel facile and effective strategy, and a series of transparent bulk nanocomposites were also prepared based on such polymerizable ZnS NPs. The structure, surface chemistry and distribution of the polymerizable ZnS NPs were studied by powder XRD, FTIR, 1H NMR and TEM. The results indicated that we have successfully synthesized the polymerizable ZnS NPs with an average size of 4–5 nm by the innovatory method and the surface of these NPs were terminated with phenyl and vinyl groups which made sure of the good dispersion in the monomers. The polymerizable ZnS NPs could be easily polymerized with the monomers and fabricated a series of bulk nanocomposites. The obtained bulk nanocomposites (3 mm) exhibit good transmittance in the visible range and its refractive index are in the range from 1.527 to 1.598 in 632.8 nm by changing the content of the polymerizable ZnS NPs from 0 to 11.1 wt%. This novel strategy opens a new gate to produce transparent bulk nanocomposites with tunable refractive indices for potential optical device applications.

As cadmium ions (Cd 2+ ) pose a serious threat to environment and human health, it is significant to develop portable, fast-response and sensitive Cd 2+ sensors for both real-time and on-site collection of such critical information. In this study, nearly monodisperse ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared and used to recognize, enrich and detect Cd 2+ ions. ZnS NPs demonstrated fast adsorption kinetics towards Cd 2+ ions (removing 99.3 % of Cd 2+ in 12 min), surpassing previously reported multiple Cd 2+ adsorption materials. Upon adsorbing Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ ions via substitution reaction, ZnS NPs gain strong peroxidase activity, and demonstrate the ability to selectively detect Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ ions among common metal ions . By further conjugating with our previous HSnS NFs (Hollow SnS nanoflower) nanosensor to eliminate the interference of Cu 2+ , the ZnS NPs nanosensor could selectively detect Cd 2+ ions with recoveries above 80 %. The ZnS NPs nanosensor can cover a wide range of Cd 2+ concentration from 0.5 to 100 μg L −1 with an extremely low detection limit of 0.38 μg L −1 . When coupling to a portable RGB sensor, as low as 0.5 μg L −1 Cd 2+ ions could be reached on-site for river water, giving an outstanding recovery of 99.4 %. The current results provide a new avenue to the on-site detection of Cd 2+ ions, and would doubtlessly contribute to the future construction of portable and intelligent sensor arrays towards complex environmental samples.

There are a variety of biological ion channels in organisms, which change under the influence of the environment and regulate the material transport at both ends of the biofilm. Inspired by this, a large number of studies on biomimetic nanochannels have been carried out. The lack of selective specificity and detection sensitivity are considered as main drawbacks in biomimetic nanochannels, and the combination of nanomaterials and biomimetic nanochannels is one of solutions. In this research, a confined self-assembly system composed of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates and ZnS nanoparticles was fabricated by a negative pressure filtration method. Besides, L- Cysteine ( L- Cys) and D- Cysteine ( D- Cys) were modified into the confined self-assembly system by ultraviolet irradiation to enhance the sensitivity for biological molecules response. The confined self-assembly system showed specific selection of L- Cys and high sensitivity to biological molecules response. This work not only synthesized ZnS nanoparticles in biomimetic nanochannels controllably but also provided a new way of studying how to utilize nanomaterials to improve the response sensitivity of biomolecules in biomimetic nanochannels.
