Abstract
The ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method using thioacetamide and zinc chloride as precursors, and characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer and AC impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical behavior of O-nitrophenol at nano ZnS modified glassy carbon electrode was investigated, and the reduction mechanism was discussed. Determination of artificial samples using the standard addition method was proposed, and recoveries were in the range from 96.3 to 102.0% with RSD of 1.3–2.0% (n = 6).
