title: Photochemical synthesis of size-tailored hexagonal ZnS quantum dots.
abstract: ZnS quantum dots were synthetized at room temperature using a simple photochemical process involving ketyl radicals. Through the simple adjustment of reagent concentration, the method allows the control of nanoparticle size. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the nanomaterial adopts the hexagonal structure.
