ZnS with hexagonal prism morphology has been synthesized successfully by molten-salt method with ZnS
nanoparticles as precursors, and the ZnS nanoparticles were prepared by one-step solid-state reaction of
Zn(CH3COO)2•2H2O with Na2S•9H2O at ambient temperature. Crystal structure and morphology of the product
were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and
HRTEM. Ultraviolet-visible optical absorption spectrum of the ZnS hexagonal prism shows a distinct red shift from
that of bulk ZnS crystals and photoluminescence spectrum exhibits strong emissions at 380 and 500 nm, respec-
tively. Further experiments were designed and the formation mechanism of the ZnS hexagonal prism has been also
discussed in brief.
