Nano-Based Zinc Sulfide Powder Produced by Iranian Firm
‘Rayka Sanaat Afrand’ company has made the zinc sulfide (ZnS) powder with nanoscale rod-like particles and high purity.
It enjoys certain nanoelectronic features, including the quantum size effect, optical absorption, and quantum tunneling.
The nanoscale size of ZnS particles has led to high surface-area-to-volume ratio, emergence of the quantum size effect and quantum tunneling effect, and high optical absorption
The zinc sulfide powder can be used in electrocatalysts, biosensors and optical windows.
Field-emission applications of the powder are in UV-sensors, chemical sensors, field effect transistors (FETs), P-type semiconductors and nano-generators.
Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite.
Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment. In its dense synthetic form, zinc sulfide can be transparent, and it is used as a window for visible optics and infrared optics.
