Recent Progress in One-dimensional ZnS Nanostructures:Syntheses and Novel Properties

In this review,the progress made during the last two years with respect to the syntheses and novel properties of one-dimensional(1D)ZnS nanostructures is presented.Primarily the research on 1D ZnS nanostructures has been of growing interest owing to their promising applications in nanoscale optoelectronic devices.Diverse ID ZnS nanostructures with delicately-tuned morphologies,sizes,and microstructures have been synthesized through relatively simple and well-controlled techniques.Some novel properties of the nanomaterials have been explored and the relationships between their structural features and functions have been understood gradually.
