There are different method use to synthesis ZnS NPs such as hydrothermal method, chemical vapor deposition, chemical bath deposition, chemical precipitation, chemical co-precipitation, microwave irradiation sol–gel technique. ZnS semiconductor NPs are extensively investigated in various fields in nanoelectronics because of  its excellent properties in optical, electrical, luminescence and photochemistry, ZnS NPs have versatile potential applications in optoelectronics, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, Sensors, field emitters, injection lasers, infrared windows,  flat-panel displays, thin film electroluminescent devices ,  photo catalytic Activities and  Antimicrobial activity. The disk diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial activity of Aluminum doped ZnS NPs against different gram positive, gram negative bacterial and fungus culture from this investigation Aluminum doped ZnS NPs have potential antimicrobial agent which was show excellent zone of inhibition (ZoI) at different concentration against all tested microorganisms.

There are different method use to synthesis ZnS NPs such as hydrothermal method, chemical vapor deposition, chemical bath deposition, chemical precipitation, chemical co-precipitation, microwave irradiation sol–gel technique. ZnS semiconductor NPs are extensively investigated in various fields in nanoelectronics because of  its excellent properties in optical, electrical, luminescence and photochemistry, ZnS NPs have versatile potential applications in optoelectronics, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, Sensors, field emitters, injection lasers, infrared windows,  flat-panel displays, thin film electroluminescent devices ,  photo catalytic Activities and  Antimicrobial activity. The disk diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial activity of Aluminum doped ZnS NPs against different gram positive, gram negative bacterial and fungus culture from this investigation Aluminum doped ZnS NPs have potential antimicrobial agent which was show excellent zone of inhibition (ZoI) at different concentration against all tested microorganisms.
