Highly crystalline ZnS quantum dots with cubic structure were prepared using a simple wet-chemical route by varying the sulphur concentration. This work offers an in-depth study of the influence of sulphur concentration on the optical, surface and structural characteristics of ZnS quantum dots. Structural analysis using XRD affirmed the cubic structure of ZnS. FESEM disclosed non-uniform nanosphere-like morphology, while TEM was utilized for particle size determination. Optical characteristics were assessed utilizing UVVis spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The ZnS quantum dots synthesized with sulphur concentration double that of the zinc concentration in the precursor solution exhibited the appropriate stoichiometry with minimum point defects. Owing to their high crystallinity, small crystallite size, excellent stability, and suitable optical properties, ZnS quantum dots are favourable candidates for optoelectronic applications.
