Abstract:
Using urea as mineralizer, the cubic sphalerite ZnS nanoparticle are synthesized through hydrothermal method in the wide temperature range of 120℃～200℃. X-ray diffraction spectra demonstrate that the prepared samples are pure ZnS products, the images of transmission electron microscopy indicate that the ZnS products are spherical, small angle X-ray scattering further confirms that the average size of ZnS nanoparticle is about 10 nm.The UV-vis absorption spectra suggest that the samples may have some quantum size effects.
