Promoting thermal stability and acid resistance of rare earth sulfide powders by coating ZnO and SiO 2 double shells
As an environment‐friendly powder with good coloring performance, rare earth sulfide is one kind of the important choices to replace cadmium and lead colorants. In particular, γ‐Ce 2 S 3 belongs to rare earth sesquisulfide, which has a bright red color. However, the uncoated γ‐Ce 2 S 3 is easy to de...

powders coated with zinc oxide were prepared by heterogeneous precipitation method, and a dense protective layer was formed by ZnO to improve chemical and thermal stability. Moreover, silicon dioxide was deposited on the surface of the zinc oxide coating using the microemulsion process to strengthen the powder's acid resistance. The double shells structure greatly promoted thermal stability and acid resistance of γ‐Ce
