Mass production of uniform wurtzite ZnS nanostructures has been achieved by a H-2-assisted thermal evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations show that the ZnS nanostructures consist of nanobelts, nanosheets with a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The as-synthesized nanobelts have a length of several tens of micrometers and a width of several hundreds of nanometers. Self-catalytic vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth and vapor-solid (VS) growth are proposed for the formation of the ZnS nanostructures because neither a metal catalyst nor a template was introduced in the synthesis process. Room-temperature photoluminescence measurement indicates that the synthesized ZnS nanostructures have a strong emission band at a wavelength of 443 nm, which may be attributed to the presence of various surface states.
