Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is an inorganic compound comprised of zinc and sulfur. Zinc sulfide plays a vital role in scientific research across diverse domains. It has been employed in the investigation of chemical reactions, including the oxidation of organic compounds, as well as catalytic reactions. Moreover, it serves as useful in studying optical materials such as phosphors, lasers, and optical fibers. Additionally, zinc sulfide finds utility in the examination of semiconductors like solar cells and transistors. While the exact mechanism of action of zinc sulfide remains incompletely understood, it is believed that the zinc ion acts as a Lewis acid, forming a complex with the sulfide ion. Subsequently, this complex interacts with other molecules present in the solution, leading to the formation of novel compounds. Researchers continue to explore and study the precise mechanisms underlying its actions.
