Zinc sulfide (ZnS) as an important photocatalytic material in photodegrading organic dyes has attracted increasing attention to obtain high activity crystal structures. Here we report synthesis of wurtzite ZnS nanoparticles using amino-ended hyperbranched polyamide (AEHPA) with different molecular weights as templates. The microstructure, morphology and optical properties of the self-assembled ZnS particles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectra and UV-vis absorption. The molecular weight of the template has a remarkable influence on the microstructure and photocatalytic property of the self-assembled ZnS. Photocatalytic tests showed that the ZnS nanoparticle obtained using the AEHPA with a moderate molecular weight as template performed the best function in degradation of Rhodamine B under UV irradiation.
