Fine ZnS powder is an efficient photocatalyst, which produces hydrogen gas from water upon illumination. Sulfur vacancies can be introduced in ZnS during its synthesis; this gradually turns the white-yellowish ZnS into a brown powder, and boosts the photocatalytic activity through enhanced light absorption.
Zinc sulfide, ZnS, crystallizes in two closely related structures, the zincblende crystal structure and the Wurtzite crystal structure, which are common structures of compounds with the formula MA. Both Zn and S are tetrahedrally coordinated by the other ion. A useful property of ZnS is its phosphorescence.
Common phases include ZnS, SnS, CuS, and Cu 2 SnS 3. Identification of these phases is challenging by traditional methods like X-ray diffraction (XRD) due to the peak overlap of ZnS and Cu 2 SnS 3 with CZTS. Some impurities such as ZnS and Cu 8 GeS 6 can be selectively removed from the CZTS or CZGS by treatment with hot diluted HCl. [9]
A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).
The refractive index of sphalerite (as measured via sodium light, average wavelength 589.3 nm) ranges from 2.37 when it is pure ZnS to 2.50 when there is 40% iron content. [6] Sphalerite is isotropic under cross-polarized light, however sphalerite can experience birefringence if intergrown with its polymorph wurtzite; the birefringence can ...

For the ores Cu 2 S and ZnS , balanced equations for the roasting are: 2 Cu 2 S + 3 O 2 → 2 Cu 2 O + 2 SO 2 2 ZnS + 3 O 2 → 2 ZnO + 2 SO 2. The gaseous product of sulfide roasting, sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is often used to produce sulfuric acid. Many sulfide minerals contain other components such as arsenic that are released into the environment.
