     Intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor
    nanocryatals seem to be good candidate for
    modern era optoelectronic and photo-
    catalytic applications due to their size tunable
    photo-physical and photo-chemical
    properties.
     In the present investigation, study of the
    luminescence properties and the photo-
    catalytic activity of the synthesized
    nanocrystals have been carried out.
     Literature Survey:
     After the review of the literature, bottom-up
    synthesis technique chemical co-precipitation
    method was found to be the most suitable
    method for the synthesis of nanocrystals.
     This technique involves the mixing of the
    precursor salts of the various elements in the
    stochiometric proportion in the presence of the
    capping agent under constant stirring.
     Synthesis of the materials:
     A number of samples of intrinsic and extrinsic
    nano-semiconductor materials have been
    synthesized using colloidal chemical co-
    precipitation method.
     Synthesized materials have been collected in the
    culture tube for their testing.
     Morphological Characterization:
     Morphological characterization involves the study
    of size and shape of the material.
     For this purpose, Transmission Electron
    Microscopy (TEM) has been done, which makes
    use of the highly accelerated electron beam
    focused on the sample to take the magnified
    image of the material particles.
     Crystallographic Characterization:
     Crystallographic characterization involves the
    study of material structure.
     In order to study these properties, X-Ray
    Diffraction (XRD) pattern of the synthesized
    materials has been recorded using Panalytical’s
    X’Pert Pro Powder X-ray diffractometer.
     Photo-catalytic Activity:
     This involves the study of the photo-catalytic activity
    potential of the sample to degrade the organic and
    inorganic contaminants.
     Photo-catalytic activity of the synthesized
    nanomaterials has been tested under UV and sun light
    irradiation using Methylene Blue (MB) dye as test
    contaminant in aqueous media.
     Optical Characterization:
     Optical characterization of the synthesized
    nanomaterials have been done by recording the
    steady state luminescence spectra using
    spectroflourometer.
     Energy of various radiative transitions have been
    calculated from the observed spectra.
     Moreover, the effect of dopant concentration on
    photo-catalytic activity and luminescence
    behavior has been tried to establish.
     Figure 1. shows the XRD patterns of the as
    prepared and annealed samples of ZnS:Ni2+. X-
    ray diffractogram shown in fig. 1(a) is broadened
    due to small size of nanocrystals. Comparison of
    the recorded XRD pattern with the standard
    JCPDS data files reveal that the structure of ZnS
    correspond to Zinc Blende crystal. And that of
    annealed sample, corresponds to the wurtzite
    phase of ZnS.
     Figure 2. shows the uniform distribution of the
    particles and the average size calculated from
    TEM is ~3nm.
     Figure 3. shows the photo-degradation of the
    MB dye which reveals that the photo-
    catalytic activity increases with the increase
    in the dopant concentration.
     Figure 4. represents the steady state
    luminescence spectrum. When the material is
    excited with 325 nm wavelength, a broad
    emission peak is being observed of
    wavelength 429 nm.
