Abstract- In this study, the sulfidizations of NiO, SrNO 3 and SrCO 3 were <strong>in</strong>vestigated by us<strong>in</strong>g solid-gas reactions under sulfidiz<strong>in</strong>g gas<br />

mixture, which conta<strong>in</strong>s the gas mixture of carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) and sulfur (S 2 ). The powder crystall<strong>in</strong>e forms of<br />

nickel sulfide (NiS) and strontium sulfide (SrS) were prepared purely by solid-gas reaction technique. The product crystall<strong>in</strong>e phases were<br />

characterized by the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. XRD data of the NiS and SrS were <strong>in</strong> good agreement with the Jo<strong>in</strong>t Committee<br />

for Powder Diffraction Systems (JCPDS) card numbers, 2-1280 and 8-489 <strong>in</strong> series. The crystall<strong>in</strong>e gra<strong>in</strong> sizes of samples were estimated by<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g Debye Scherrer formula. The gra<strong>in</strong> sizes of the products are <strong>in</strong> the range of nano sizes. In light of this study, it could be proposed that<br />

the compounds, NiS and SrS could be prepared purely through sulfidiz<strong>in</strong>g gas mixture by solid-gas reactions under cool<strong>in</strong>g of a nitrogen<br />

atmosphere.<br />

Metal chalcogenide nano<strong>crystals</strong> such as NiS, ZnS, SrS,<br />

CdS and PbS have attracted great <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> recent years<br />

ow<strong>in</strong>g to their unique properties <strong>in</strong> physics and chemistry<br />

that significantly differ from those of their bulk<br />

counterparts. These types of material usually show novel<br />

optical, electronic and magnetic properties due to their<br />

peculiar quantum-size effect and large specific surface<br />

areas. Therefore, these metal sulfides have important<br />

applications <strong>in</strong> the field of opto-electronic technology and<br />

fabrication of photo catalysis materials [1,2]. Nickel<br />

sulfide nanoparticles have been used as IR detectors, solar<br />

storage devices, photoconductive materials and<br />

hydrodesulfurization catalysis [3,4]. The electromagnetic<br />

property of the nickel sulfide (NiS) is also <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

it transforms fro m a paramagnetic metal to an<br />

antiferromagnetic semiconductor upon cool<strong>in</strong>g under the<br />

transition temperature Tt<br />

~379 0 C [5]. F<strong>in</strong>ally, the SrS<br />

was used to obta<strong>in</strong> an efficient blue phosphor light for the<br />

full color th<strong>in</strong> film electro lu m<strong>in</strong>escent (TFEL) display<br />

products for many years [6].<br />

On the experimental practice, the NiS and SrS were<br />

prepared separately through solid gas reaction of<br />

sulfidiz<strong>in</strong>g gas mixture of COS, CS 2 , and S 2 with the<br />

<strong>in</strong>itial reactants of NiO and SrNO 3 (and also SrCO 3 ).<br />

The XRD patterns of the products NiS and SrS are given<br />

<strong>in</strong> Figure 1. As shown, the experimental XRD data of the<br />

NiS and SrS were <strong>in</strong> good agreement with the ICDD card<br />

numbers 2-1280 (crystal system was unidentified) and 8-<br />

489 (cubic structure, a = 6.020Å, space group = Fm3m and<br />

Z = 4), respectively. We obta<strong>in</strong>ed the same XRD patterns<br />

for the SrS with the sulfidization of the raw materials,<br />

SrNO 3 and SrCO 3 . It could be concluded that both <strong>in</strong>itial<br />

reactants could be used as an <strong>in</strong>itial reactant for the<br />

synthesis of SrS.<br />

The crystall<strong>in</strong>e gra<strong>in</strong> sizes of the synthesized products of<br />

the metal sulfides, NiS and SrS, were calculated by us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Debye Scherrer formula [7]. The Scherrer equation is<br />

written as follows:<br />

(1)<br />

Where <strong>in</strong> the equation (1), is the wavelength of the X-ray<br />

radiation and B is the full width at half maximum of peak<br />

of the XRD pattern. The gra<strong>in</strong> sizes (D) of the NiS and SrS<br />

were calculated as 25.871 and 98.690 nm, respectively.<br />

The results show that the crystall<strong>in</strong>e gra<strong>in</strong> sizes of the NiS<br />

and SrS have <strong>in</strong> the range of nano extension.<br />

In light of this study, it could be proposed that the<br />

compounds, NiS and SrS could be prepared <strong>in</strong> nano<br />

extention and purely through sulfidiz<strong>in</strong>g gas mixture by<br />

solid-gas reaction under cool<strong>in</strong>g of a nitrogen atmosphere.<br />
