Abstract:
Zinc sulfide is a material that has many uses in various fields. Zinc sulfide is deriving from the mineral sphalerite. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of producing zinc sulfide from zinc acetate and sodium sulfide using the precipitation-assisted ultrasonic radiation method. This method is the most efficient method for the synthesis of zinc sulfide nanoparticles, because it does not take much time and the resulting product is high. The evaluation was done from the engineering and economic perspectives. The feasibility analysis method from the engineering perspective was done by designing the initial production design on a large scale, whereas the analysis from an economic perspective was done by calculating various economic parameters, that is Gross Profit Margin, Cumulative Net Present Value, Internal Rate Return, Payback Period, Break Event Point, and Profitability Index. The engineering perspective showed that the production of zinc sulfide nanoparticles can be done on a large scale due to the commercial availability of materials and tools. Based on the economic evaluation, the production of zinc sulfide nanoparticles by precipitation-assisted ultrasonic method is ideal for an industrial scale. Earned increased profits over 20 years, the payback on investment costs lasted only two years. We hope that this study can provide references to readers, industry, and researchers regarding the feasibility analysis of the production of zinc sulfide nanoparticles using the precipitation-assisted ultrasonic radiation method

Abstract:
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanostructures were formed by means of electrophoretic deposition of nanoparticles with mean diameter of 6 nm and 20 nm, respectively. Nanoparticles were prepared by a microwave assisted synthesis in aqueous dispersion and electrophoretically deposited on aluminum plates. CdS thin films and ZnS one-dimensional nanostructures were grown on the negative electrodes after 24 hours of electrophoretic deposition at direct current voltage. CdS and ZnS nanostructures were characterized by means of scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopies analysis. CdS thin films homogeneity can be tunable varying the strength of the applied electric field. Deposition at low electric field produces thin films with particles aggregates, whereas deposition at relative high electric field produces smoothed thin films. The one-dimensional nanostructure size can be also controlled by the electric field strength. Two different mechanisms are considered in order to describe the formation of the nanostructures: lyosphere distortion and thinning and subsequent dipole-dipole interactions phenomena are proposed as a possible mechanism of the one-dimensional nanostructures, and a mechanism considering pre-deposition interactions of the CdS nanoparticles is proposed for the CdS thin films formation.

Abstract:
Doped ZnS nanocrystals have attracted attention since 1994. Previous results suggest that doped semiconductor nanocrystals form a new class of luminescent materials, which have a wide range of applications in displays, lighting, sensors and lasers. In this work we synthesized Y3+ doped ZnS nanoparticles by a chemical precipitation method. The reaction was performed with ZnSO4, Na2S, phosphates and Yttrium acetate in aqueous solution. Fluorescence (FL) studies of these nanoparticles have been carried out. FL analysis reveals that the incorporation of Yttrium and phosphates to colloidal solution of ZnS nanoparticles enhances the FL signal by 6-7 times of magnitude compared with uncapped ZnS nanoparticles.

Abstract:
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized with controllable size via chemical precipitation. highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) showed that the samples were grown with the cubic phase; the particle size was varied by varying the molar ratios of zinc chloride and sodium sulfide in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). The optical band gap was calculated on the basis of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) and ranged from 4.13 eV to 4.31 eV depending on the particle size. Surface passivation and adsorption of poly(ethylene glycol) on the nanoparticles was explained on the basis of Fourier transform infrared measurements (FTIR).

Abstract:
Le recyclage agricole de Produits Résiduaires Organiques (PROs) bruts ou après un traitement tel que la méthanisation et/ou le compostage est une pratique répandue. Il est indispensable d’évaluer l’impact environnemental de l’épandage des PROs après méthanisation, technologie en essor, en particulier vis-à-vis du zinc (Zn). La spéciation du Zn dans le PRO est un paramètre crucial pour établir le risque. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence que la méthanisation favorise la formation de nanoparticules de sulfures de Zn (nano-ZnS), qui est donc la forme majoritaire du Zn dans les digestats de méthanisation (>70%). Cette forme du Zn est instable car elle se transforme lors du compostage des digestats. Les paramètres structuraux des nano-cristaux (taille, contrainte) peuvent expliquer leur réactivité. Nos résultats montrent que plus les nano-ZnS sont petites et plus leur contrainte est importante. De plus, l’interaction avec les groupements thiols de certaines molécules organiques, potentiellement présentes dans un digesteur de méthanisation, relâche la contrainte des nano-ZnS et contrôle leur croissance. Enfin, les caractéristiques du sol amendé ont un rôle majeur pour le devenir des nano-ZnS: les composants de sols argileux riches en oxydes de fer sont capables de retenir le Zn issu de la dissolution des nano-ZnS, contrairement à ceux d’un sol sableux. Ce travail apporte une meilleure compréhension de la dynamique du Zn dans les écosystèmes cultivés soumis à l’épandage de PROs
Agricultural recycling of organic waste (OW), raw or after a treatment like anaerobic digestion (AD) and/or composting is common. It is necessary to assess the environmental impact of OW agricultural recycling after anaerobic digestion since this technology is gaining interest, particularly regarding zinc, an abundant element in OW. In order to properly evaluate the risk, zinc speciation must be known. First, we have shown that AD promote the formation of nano-ZnS that is therefore the main species of Zn (> 70%) in AD digestates. This unstable species is transformed during composting of 1 to 3 months. Size and strain are parameters that can explain nanocrystals reactivity. We showed that the more nano-ZnS are small and the higher the strain is. Interaction with thiol containing organic molecules, potentially present in anaerobic digesters, release nano-ZnS structural strain and control its growth. Finally, amended soil characteristics have a key role for nano-ZnS fate: the components of clayey and iron-oxide-rich soils are able to immobilize Zn released by nano-ZnS dissolution, unlike sandy soils components. This work gives a better understanding of zinc dynamics in cultivated ecosystems subject to spreading of organic waste

Abstract:
Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif la création d’indice optique local et contrôlé dans une matrice vitreuse à travers la mise au point et le développement de procédés de synthèse de nanoparticules (NPs) de sulfure de zinc (ZnS) dans un verre d’oxydes. Nous avons commencé par l’élaboration par voie de fusion d’un verre d’oxydes de composition initiale très simple. Nous avons ensuite examiné la problématique de la synthèse et du contrôle de croissance des NPs de ZnS dans nos échantillons dans trois matrices différentes et par trois traitements : recuit thermique, insolation UV ou par un traitement simultané (recuit thermique + insolation UV). Les propriétés optiques des verres dopés NPs ZnS fabriqués ont été caractérisées par diverses techniques (absorption UV visible, photoluminescence, FTIR, Raman, XPS, mesure d’indice). Il ressort de ces caractérisations que nous arrivons à fabriquer des NPs dans les trois matrices dont la taille peut aller de 1.8 à 7 nm. La dispersion sur les distributions de taille dépend de la matrice, du traitement post-fusion et de sa durée ainsi que de la concentration initiale en dopant. Nous avons également été amené à synthétiser et à étudier des nanopoudres de ZnS. Le procédé de sélection de taille révèle qu’il est possible d’obtenir au moins trois distributions étroites de tailles bien distinctes. Des filtres optiques UV à bande étroite peuvent ainsi être réalisés pour une longueur choisie en contrôlant la taille des NPs ZnS. Des applications prospectives des NPs ZnS pour le nano marquage et la photo dégradation de polluants modèles présents dans l’eau ont été illustrées
Our efforts have been devoted to the development of simple approach to synthesize ZnS nanoparticules (NPs) by melting process in a glassy matrix with the aim to create a controlled optical index variation. In this thesis, we present the formation of ZnS NPs in the glassy matrix and study of their optical properties. The nanocomposite incorporating ZnS in the host medium was prepared using the melting process from a mixture of the raw materials. We have prepared various glass samples with ZnS NPs size ranging from 1.8 à 7 nm. These samples were treated (heat treatment ± UV insulation with 244 nm laser) and characterized by UV-Vis absorption, FTIR, photoluminescence spectroscopy, Raman measurements and XPS. The refractive index measurements of these nanostructured composite glasses have been carried out and show an important increase with ZnS concentrations and treatments. We also present the elaboration of small and monodisperse ZnS nanopowder with size ranging from 3 to 100 nm by a simple, low-cost and mass production chemical method. The NPs were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of ZnS nanopowders was investigated by using different colorant water dispersed. ZnS NPs appear to be a good candidate for potential environmental applications such as water purification. We also present application of fluorescent ZnS nanoparticles as cellular biomarkers. Fluorescent microscopy images of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells revealed that the ZnS nanoparticles were biocompatible and were penetrated cells and nucleus regardless of their size. Hence, the ZnS NPs can be good candidates for drug delivery and bio-imaging applications

Abstract:
Le développement des nanotechnologies offre de nouvelles perspectives pour la conception des cellules solaire à fort rendement de conversion. Jusqu’à présent les efforts se sont portés principalement sur des structures à base de semi-conducteurs, de métaux et de polymères. Dans nos travaux, nous avons considéré des nanoparticules de Sulfure de Plomb (PbS) pour lesquelles l'énergie de bande interdite et les propriétés optiques sont fonction de la taille de la particule afin de tirer parti de l'ensemble du spectre optique couvert par l'énergie solaire. Nous avons également considéré des nanofils d'oxyde de zinc (ZnO) pour la séparation et le transport des charges photo-crées. Nous pensons que l'association des nanoparticules de PbS avec des nanofils de ZnO devrait pouvoir augmenter considérablement le rendement des cellules solaires. Dans ce but, nous avons démontré la croissance auto-ordonné des nanofils de ZnO sur substrats silicium et verre par dépôt laser pulsé (pulsed laser deposition ) utilisant le réseau de nanoparois de ZnO en forme de nid d'abeille comme couche germe. Nous avons démontré que les conditions de croissance sont essentielles pour contrôler la cristallinité, la morphologie des nanofils de ZnO , ainsi que la densité de défauts de croissance. Les analyses MEB, DRX, TEM, et HR-TEM montrent que nous avons obtenu des nanostructures très cristallines et orientées verticalement. Nous avons également démontré la croissance in-situ de nanoparticules de PbS sans ligand sur la surface des nanofils de ZnO verticaux à l'aide de la technique SILAR (Successive Ionic Layer Adsoprtion and Reaction) .Nous avons constaté que les nanoparticules de PbS sont fortement accrochées à la surface des nanofils de ZnO avec différentes dimensions et des densités variables .Ces résultats ont été obtenus sans introduire de matière organique (Ligand) qui pourrait perturber à la fois la structure électronique à l'interface ZnO/PbS et le transfert des électrons du PbS au ZnO. Les analyses MEB, TEM et HR-TEM confirment le bon accrochage des nanoparticules de PbS sur les nanofils de ZnO . Leur forme est sphérique et elles sont poly-cristallines. A la fin de ce travail de thèse nous proposons une hétérojonction p-PbS/n-ZnO constituée de nanoparticules de PbS dopées P et de nanofils de ZnO dopés n pour de futures applications en photovoltaïque
To date, the development of nanotechnology has launched new ways to design efficient solar cells. Strategies have been employed to develop nanostructure architectures of semiconductors, metals, and polymers for solar cells. In this research we have considered the Lead sulfide (PbS) nanoparticles with their tunable band gap and optical properties to harvest the entire solar spectrum which can improve the optical absorption, and charge generation. On the other hand, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires will provide the charge separation and transportation. The ZnO Nanowires sensitized with PbS nanoparticles might significantly impact power conversion efficiency of the solar cells Driven by these unique properties, we demonstrate the successful growth of self catalyzed ZnO nanowires on silicon and glass substrates, by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using ZnO nanowall network with honeycomb structure as seed layer. We identified that the growth parameters are vital to control the crystallinity, morphology and the defect levels in the synthesized ZnO nanowires. SEM, XRD, TEM, HRTEM analysis show that the nanostructures are highly crystalline and are vertically oriented. We also report the in-situ growth of PbS nanoparticles without linker on the surface of well –oriented ZnO NWs by (SILAR) technique. The PbS Nanoparticles are packed tightly on the surface of the ZnO Nanowires with different sizes and densities, without insulating nature organic ligands, which might affect both the electronic structure at the interface and the electron - transfer rate. The SEM, TEM, HRTEM, PL and XRD analysis, confirm the attachment of the spherical shape polycrystalline PbS nanoparticles. We propose at the end of the thesis the p-PbS /n-ZnO hetero-junction with its future applications in solar cells

The application of nanometer technology is attracted a lot of attention. Nanometer scale hollow spheres can be used in the hydrogen materials and drug delivery, etc. Therefore, nanometer scale hollow sphere prepared by reverse micelle method is going to research in this work (experiment). We divided the water phase into two groups including pure water and ammonia solution. Then we are trying to find the optimal condition to make the reproduction of nanometer scale hollow spheres based on the five factors (the quantity of TEOS, ammonia solution concentration, the shake/agitation time, the shake amplitude and the sampling time). Reverse micelle method goes through with mixing TEOS, hexane and water/ammonia solutions together in various vol % by ultrasonic processor for 2 min. The mixture solution will separate into oil phase and water phase, then we took out the oil phase of mixture solution which is a reverse micells system of water in oil (W/O). The droplets (namely reverse micelles) will undergo the sol-gel reaction while precipitating after lefting for 1h. The ammonia in the droplets catalyzed the TEOS in the oil phase from solid, i.e. the silica hollow spheres, at the oil-water interface. Took the upper layer of the oil phase and analyzed the particle size distribution and the surface morphology of nanometer scale hollow spheres which examined by DLS, AFM, TEM and FM, respectively.

Poly(BA-co-AMA) latex was formed by soap-free emulsion copoly- merization of n-Butyl acrylate with 2-Acrylamidoglycolic acid. The latex was added into a Petri disk and dried at 60℃ to obtain a thin copolymer film. The compositions of the copolymer film were analyzed by attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and elemental analysis (EA) of C, H and N. When the film was used to adsorb Zn(II), the surface of the film could adsorb Zn(II) to reach equilibrium at 5 min. In the period of 5-20 min, Zn(II) diffused into the inner of film to be adsorbed. Furthermore, the films that had adsorbed Zn(II) were immersed in 0.3 M Na2S for 15 sec. ZnS nanoparticles on the film were observed by Scanning electron microscopy and confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Controlling the adsorption time in the period of 0-5 min, we could obtain various sizes of ZnS nanoparticles on the copolymer films. The optical properties of the ZnS/polymer composites were also analyzed by UV/Visible spectrometer and photoluminescence spectrometer.

Abstract:

Nanomaterials often exhibit enhanced reactivity relative to their larger colloidal counterparts because of the high specific surface area and number of imperfections on the crystal lattice at the nanoscale. Management of ecosystems, remediation of contaminated waters, and assessment of the potential risks from the industrial use on nanomaterials requires an understanding of the environmental factors that control the reactivity and bioavailability of natural and manufactured nanomaterials. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) acts as a moderator of reactivity and bioavailability for dissolved and particulate moieties in natural waters. DOM consists of a range of low and high molecular weight species that are complex and heterogeneous. It has been historically categorized based on operational definitions, rather than physical properties. In order to understand the effect of DOM on nanomaterials, there is an urgent need for information regarding specific properties of DOM, such as ligand groups.

The goal of this research was to study how cysteine, a low molecular weight metal-binding ligand, affects the composition and reactivity of nanoparticulate zinc sulfide and metallic silver. Zinc sulfide was used as a representative of nanoparticulate metal sulfide which occurs naturally in sulfidic environments. Metallic silver nanoparticles were also studied because of its wide use in consumer products. Both types of nanomaterials contain metal constituents (zinc and silver) that are expected to strongly bind to sulfhydryl-containing ligands (such as cysteine) in the environment. Serine is structurally similar to cysteine, with the only difference of a hydroxyl group in the place of the sulfhydryl group of cysteine. Therefore, serine was used for comparison as a hydroxyl-containing analogue to cysteine.

The aggregation kinetics of zinc and other metal sulfide nanoparticles in the presence of cysteine and serine were investigated using dynamic light scattering. Cysteine decreased aggregation rates of the particles, while serine had no effect on their aggregation behavior. Further experiments revealed that the mechanism of stabilization occurred through the adsorption of cysteine on zinc sulfide, which induced electrostatic charge on the particles surface. A direct link was established between the amount of cysteine sorbed and attachment efficiency, an indicator of the tendency of particles to aggregate. These results shed light on discrepancies in the literature between metal sulfide precipitation experiments conducted in our lab and work on the formation and aggregation of zinc sulfide nanoparticles on biofilms of sulfate reducing bacteria.

The early-stage growth and aggregation kinetics of zinc sulfide nanoclusters in the presence of cysteine was studied in detail using a suite of complementary techniques. Growth and aggregation experiments have been traditionally difficult to conduct due to instrumental precision issues, but newly developed analytical tools and software products have made it possible to study the early-stage formation of nanoclusters. Experiments with small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the extended fine structure range showed that cysteine controlled the growth and aggregation of zinc sulfide nanoclusters. The molar ratio between zinc, sulfide, and cysteine was a determining factor in the precipitation process. When zinc and sulfide were in equimolar concentrations with cysteine, very small nanoclusters of about 2.5 nm formed within 12 hours and aggregated to structures with hydrodynamic diameter larger than 100 nm. When cysteine was in excess of zinc and sulfide, aggregation was held to a minimum, but monomer nanoclusters were able to grow to about 5 nm in 12 hours. Overall, these results indicate the importance of thiol ligands on the monomer size, extent of aggregation, and aggregate structure of zinc sulfides.

The effect of metal ligands on metal bearing particle surfaces is of particular interest for manufactured nanoparticles, because they are typically coated with an organic coating during the production process. These coatings are sorbed on the particles surface and are likely to interfere between the metallic surface and the ligand. Dissolution experiments using citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated zero valent silver nanoparticles in the presence of cysteine and serine showed that cysteine dissolved both types of particles, while serine did not. Dissolution rates depended on the aggregation state of the particles exposed to cysteine. As indicated by zeta potential and adsorption measurements, cysteine replaced the coating on the particles surface and altered their aggregation pattern. X-ray absorption spectroscopy near the absorption edge showed partial oxidation of silver and formation of Ag(+I)-sulfur bonds, indicating that the thiol group in cysteine formed chemical bonds with oxidized surface silver atoms. A comparison between the two coatings showed that citrate coated particles dissolved approximately three times faster than PVP coated particles. Overall, these results show that metal binding ligands can drastically change the fate of manufactured silver nanoparticles in the environment and that this effect is moderated by surface coatings.

The results of this study suggest that cysteine, a metal binding ligand was able to induce and control transformations, such as growth, aggregation, dissolution, and surface reactivity of zinc sulfide and metallic silver nanoparticles. Cysteine adsorbed on metal sites on both ZnS and Ag particles, inducing changes on their surface charge. Aggregation of ZnS particles was slowed because of a net decrease in zeta potential compared to the bare particles. On the contrary, cysteine enhanced the aggregation of Ag particles, by replacing the citrate and PVP coatings on the particles surface. Finally, the cysteine-Ag(+I) bonds caused strong polarization on the particles surface and lead to the oxidative dissolution of the particles.

Overall, this research provides a better understanding of the fate of natural and manufactured nanoparticles in anaerobic waters, where thiols are present in significant amounts. It may also be used for risk assessment of manufactured nanomaterials and the production of safer and environmentally responsible materials.

Abstract This research explores the method of using chitosan and silica to immobilize superoxide dismutase and zinc sulphate on nanoparticles by emulsion-droplet coalescence. The optimal combination of particle size and entrapment efficiency of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was obtained by using 0.55% chitosan and 0.55% silicate . The average particle diameter was 36 nm and the entrapment efficiency of SOD was 89%. The superoxide anion radical scavenging effect reached 70% after heating for 2 hrs at 90℃. After stored for 340 hrs in citric acid buffer (pH=3), the superoxide anion radical scavenging effect was 50%. The optimal combination of particle size and entrapment efficiency of both SOD and zinc sulphate was obtained by using 0.87% chitosan and 0.87% silicate. The average particle diameter was 27 nm and the entrapment efficiency of SOD was 94%. The superoxide anion radical scavenging effect was maintained at 90% after heating for 2 hrs at 90℃. After stored for 340 hrs in citric acid buffer (pH=3), the superoxide anion radical scavenging effect was 60%. The optimal combination of particle size and entrapment efficiency of zinc sulphate was obtained by using 0.87% chitosan and 0.87% silicate. The average particle diameter was 28 nm and the entrapment efficiency of Zn was 93%. The hydroden peroxide scavenging effect was maintained at 48% after stored for 340 hrs in citric acid buffer (pH=3). All three nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of both A549 and SK-HEP-1 cancer cell lines. The cell proliferation decreased to 38% and 50% at the concentration of 167 μg/ml of chitosan-silica–SOD nanoparticles. Apparently chitosan-silica containing SOD, zinc, or both SOD and zinc can inhibit the growth of several tumor cells in vitro. The antioxidant effect of nanoparticles decreased with inereasing storage time. However, the encapusation/immobilization of SOD by chitosan-silica nanoparticles help retain the antioxidative ability and increase its thermal stability.

Abstract:
This paper presents fabrication of copper indium gallium di-selenide (CIGS) solar cells using all solution-based deposition processes. CIGS nanoparticles were synthesized through multi-step chemical process using copper chloride, indium chloride, gallium chloride, and selenium in oleyamine. CIGS thin films were constructed through layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and spray-coating techniques. Chemical-bath-deposition and spray-coating methods were used for cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide film depositions, respectively. Initial thin film solar cell devices exhibited promising 0.3 mA short circuit current and 200 mV open circuit voltage. The solar cells fabricated through the all solution-based processes are cost-effective, thus, have potentials of providing a viable, renewable and sustainable energy source. The proposed processes can further be realized on flexible substrates, which may broaden the applications range for the solar cells.

Abstract:
Abstract Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR, λ = 3–5 μm) materials are of great importance due to their applications in optical sensors and devices for military, industry, and non-invasive medical diagnostics. Specifically, MWIR polarimetry has significantly improved biometric recognition and camouflaged detection. Most commercial polarizers are based on expensive inorganic materials that are heavy, fragile, and brittle. Thus a suitable polymeric material for MWIR optics is highly desired. Herein, sulfur-based organically modified chalcogenides (ORMOCHALC) polymers have been utilized to fabricate MWIR polarizers by a simple thermal imprinting method followed by Ay deposition. A parametric study to choose suitable geometry for the polarizer was conducted, and highly efficient devices were designed that possess competitive extinction coefficients to the commercial polarizers. However, a significant limitation of the ORMOCHALC polymer is that to increase the refractive index of the polymer, the chalcogenide (i.e., S) content needs to be increased, which results in reduced Young’s modulus and lower glass transition temperature. This decayed thermomechanical stability compromises the structural integrity of ORMOCHALC optical devices. In addition to polymeric MWIR polarizer fabrication, composite materials were also synthesized and characterized for future MWIR device fabrications. Poly(S-r-DIB) was reinforced with zinc sulfide nanoparticles to simultaneously improve the refractive index and the thermomechanical properties. The addition of ZnS nanoparticles significantly improved the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the ORMOCHALC (9.6 °C to 31.4 °C), and the refractive index (Δn = 6.6 %). Then, a figure of merit subwavelength wire-grid polarizers was also analyzed based on the optically and mechanically reinforced composites. If fabricated, nanoparticles reinforced polarizers will possess superior structural integrity due to higher glass transition temperature. Moreover, the polarizers show a spectral selectivity as the resonance wavelength of the transmitted-reflected curve was redshifted to larger wavelengths for ZnS reinforced ORMOCHALC composite. These polarizers with superior extinction coefficient, spectral selectivity, and improved thermomechanical stability demonstrate a border implementation opportunity in the MWIR optics.
