Product Overview

Zinc Sulphide 98% Extra Pure (CAS No. 1314-98-3) is zinc(II) sulphide, a sparingly soluble binary compound of Zn(II) and sulphide. ZnS is an important inorganic semiconductor and luminescent-material host whose optical and electronic behaviour depends strongly on crystal form, defects, particle dimensions and dopants. Because none of those material characteristics is supplied in the catalogue name, no specific polymorph, band-gap value or luminescent performance is assigned.

The Extra Pure grade is intended for general inorganic synthesis, semiconductor-material research, optical studies and preparation of zinc-sulphide-containing materials. Its ZnS solid-state framework is particularly relevant to investigations of luminescence, surface chemistry and inorganic semiconductor behaviour.

Typical Applications

• Semiconductor-material research.
• Preparation of zinc sulphide-containing composites.
• Luminescence and phosphor-host studies.
• Optical and solid-state materials investigations.
• ZnS surface and particle-chemistry research.
• General binary metal-sulphide chemistry.

Common Synonyms

• Zinc(II) sulphide
• Zinc sulfide

Storage Conditions

Store tightly closed in dry, clean conditions and protect from metallic, particulate and reactive contamination that could alter material or surface behaviour. Maintain consistent handling where optical or solid-state properties are being investigated.
