ZnS nanotubes with crossed-channels have been synthesized successfully using a hydrothermal method. A novel hydrothermal reaction of simultaneous solvent-oxidation-hydrolysis has been developed using Zn powder, H2O and NH2CSNH2 as reagents. TEM images show that each branch of the channels is about 400-500 nm long. The inner diameter is 55 nm, the outer diameter is 70 nm, and the interlayer spacing is about 7 nm. XRD data show that the product is well-crystallized in the cubic Sphalerite phase. The peak appears at 293 nm in the UV-Vis absorption spectrum, which is about 50 nm blue shifted from the bulk counterpart. The photoluminescence spectrum of ZnS nanotubes shows that the emission peak occurs at 409 nm when excited at 365 nm.
