Abstract
The Zinc sulfide (ZnS) sample was synthesized using Zinc acetate
dihydrate, and thiourea as ingredients by the hydrothermal reaction
without using any dispersants and surfactants were used in the reaction
process. The product composition and morphology were confirmed by XRD
and SEM. The experimental results showed that after hydrothermal
reaction at 150℃ for 8 h, the as-obtained ZnS microspheres diameter was
about 3μm. Then, ZnS microspheres were used as photocatalyst, and the
photocatalytic degradation rate of methylene blue solution reached
91.1% after ultraviolet light irradiation for 150 min.
