Insight of ZnS nanoparticles contribution in different biological uses

ABSTRACT

Objectives To evaluate the contributions of the some quantum dots in different biological uses in order to valorizes such nanomaterials for further applications. Methods Zinc sulfide ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous medium at pH constant, the obtained nanoparticles has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopies. Zinc sulfide nanoparticles were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal profiling and tested for antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical (OH
