Highly IR transparent ZnS ceramics sintered by vacuum hot press using hydrothermally produced ZnS nanopowders

Hydrothermally synthesized ZnS nanopowders comprising small and large particles were used to synthesize ZnS ceramics. Small particles (200 nm) existed in the gaps between the large particles (0.7 μm) and assisted the densification of the ZnS ceramics. ZnS ceramics sintered at low temperatures (500 μ...

Description
Summary:Hydrothermally synthesized ZnS nanopowders comprising small and large particles were used to synthesize ZnS ceramics. Small particles (200 nm) existed in the gaps between the large particles (0.7 μm) and assisted the densification of the ZnS ceramics. ZnS ceramics sintered at low temperatures (500 μm). The ZnS liquid phase, which was formed at approximately 980°C, assisted the densification and grain growth of the ZnS ceramics. A 3.0‐mm‐thick ZnS ceramic sintered at 1000°C for 16 hours showed a high Knoop hardness (321 kgf/mm2) and a high transmittance of 71% in the wavelength range 6.0‐12 μm without carbonate absorption bands.
