Abstract
The relationship between the chemical reactivity and the crystal structure of Zn particles was studied by using an X-ray diffractometer and a microfocus X-ray camera. The results indicate that particles of caustic electrolytic Zn powders (E-Zn) are dendrites with branches grown in three directions perpendicular to the C-axis and with well-developed {001} faces which determine the particle size. The broadening of X-ray reflections, especially of {103}, which was the most significant characteristics of E-Zn, was shown not to be due to the fineness of the crystal size but to be due to the crystal imperfections, such as lattice strain, lattice mistakes, which greatly affect the chemical reactivity.
