Abstract
In this article, we present a surfactant-free method for the preparation of graphene/ZnS nanocomposites. The as-synthesised products were characterised by the X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. It is shown that in the nanocomposites, individual ZnS nanoparticles are well-spread out on the graphene sheets. The good distribution of ZnS nanoparticles on graphene sheets would be promising for practical applications in future nanotechnology.
