In the present article wereport the investigation on the structural and optical properties of Undoped Zinc
Sulfide (ZnS) Nano crystallites and Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) doped Nano crystallites prepared by wet chemical co
precipitation method using Zinc acetate and Sodium sulfide as sulfur sources. The pure and Ag doped ZnSNano
crystallites were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ultraviolet-Visible
absorption spectrum. The size and structure of the as preparedNanocrystallites were studied using X-Ray Diffraction
pattern. The crystallite size ofpure and silver nitrate (AgNO3) doped ZnSNano crystallites were calculated by Debye–
Scherer formula. Morphology of the as prepared Nano crystallites were observed and investigated using the Scanning
Electron Microscopy.. The optical properties of Nano crystallites were studied with Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy.
Elemental analysis from the Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) confirms the stoichiometry of the final product
