Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Synthesis of Radial ZnS Nanoribbons

Using microwave as the heating method, radial ZnS nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized for the first time via a solvothermal procedure in enthylenediamine, combined with thermal treatment in a nitrogen flow. The resulted nanoribbons have a length up to 700 nm, a width of 10–20 nm, and a typical thickness of 3 nm.
