Abstract

A rapid preparation route, microwave-assisted chemical solution method, has been developed for the fabrication of zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin film and powder with shape of microsphere. The as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and optical measurement. XRD results indicated that the structures of as-obtained products are wurtzite. The SEM and AFM photographs show that uniform ZnS microsphere with size of less than 1 μm and homogeneous thin film could be obtained from solution under adequate conditions with thiourea as sulfide source. The results show that microwave-assisted chemical solution method is really a time saving method to fabricate the ZnS thin film and nanostructured microspheres.
