ZnO1-xSx (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0) composites were prepared from the hydrozincite precursor (Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6) as Zn source by sulfidation during the solvothermal treatment using thiourea as sulfur source at different molar ratio. The sulfurized composites were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA, SEM-...
