A thio Schiff-base-assisted solvothermal process has been developed to synthesize zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoplates via the reaction between a metal salt, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and thio Schiff-base of 2-(benzylidene amino) benzenethiol (C13H11NS) as a new precursor. XRD, TEM, SEAD, UV–vis spectroscopy, TG-DTA and FT-IR spectra were employed to characterize the obtained product. The results of this paper indicate that the shape and size of zinc sulfide nanoplates can be controlled systematically by setting certain reaction parameters, such as the reaction temperature and duration and type of solvent. Zinc sulfide nanoplates with different morphology and size have been successfully prepared.
