Wurtzite-structured ZnS nanorobs were synthesized via one-step solvothermal approach using adopting ZnO with (NH2)2CS as raw materials.This paper describes wurtzite-structured ZnS thin nanorods with uniform diameters of about 10nm and lengths of 200nm.It was found that the phase and morphology of the as-prepared products could be controlled by change the solvent and the sulfur source to format of wurtzite and zinc-blende ZnS.Using ZnO as zinc source is favorable to avoid the formation of inorganic-organic compounds.
