Synthesis and characterization of nickel sulfide nanoparticles via cyclic microwave radiation

In current study, nanoparticles of NiS were synthesized by applying microwave radiation. The effect of concentration of sulfur source, reaction time, and power of microwave irradiation on the treatment process was investigated. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-synthesized nanostructures have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical properties of as-prepared sample were investigated by photoluminescence spectroscopy; the emission peak is at 555.04 nm and shows the blue shift.
