I’ve synthesized ZnS nanomaterials for phosphorescence studies and am now trying to measure their photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield using a spectrofluorometer. However, I’m struggling to prepare a suitable solution or dispersion, as ZnS is poorly soluble in most solvents.
Has anyone successfully dispersed or dissolved ZnS nanoparticles for PL analysis? I’m particularly interested in:
I’d appreciate any suggestions or references. My goal is to avoid aggregation or scattering that might affect the PL results.
