Deep eutectic solvent-assisted synthesis of cubic ZnIn2S4 nanodots with sub-10 nm size
Abstract Ultra-small ZnIn2S4 nanodots with cubic phase were synthesized under ambient conditions using sulfur-containing deep eutectic solvent (DES). Incorporating sulfur source into DES simplified the process. The as-synthesized nanodots exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation, highlighting the potential of DESs as green and tunable solvents for functional metal sulfide synthesis.
