ABSTRACT: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the structural, morphological, and optical properties of undoped and doped ZnS nanoparticles synthesized via the chemical precipitation method. The crystallite sizes of the nanoparticles were calculated using Scherrer's equation, while phase identification was performed through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The analysis included undoped ZnS and ZnS nanoparticles doped with 2% of Ca, Mn, Co, Ni, and Ba, enabling a comparison of doping effects. Surface morphology was examined using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy....
