title: Properties of mechanochemically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles.
abstract: The bulk and surface properties of mechanochemically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied. XRD, SEM, TEM (HRTEM), AFM, UV-VIS, low temperature nitrogen sorption as well as TPR characterization methods have been applied. Cubic ZnS nanocrystals (2-4 nm) with characteristic blue shift have been obtained by high-energy milling. There is an evidence of the nanocrystal aggregates formation in products of milling. The surface uniformity, homogeneity as well as enhanced uptake of hydrogen have been documented.
