▎ 摘  要

In this experiment, flake graphite (<30 mu m) was prepared as raw materials. Graphite oxide is prepared with Hummers method by low temperature, middle temperature and high temperature, and further treated with super-sonic oscillation to get graphene oxide. Graphene-zinc sulfide composites were synthesized through a simple solvothermal method using thiourea or sodium sulfide as sulfur source in the ethylene glycol or ethylenediamine, respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray and SEM, and analyzed by the transient photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance spectra. The results indicate that the properties of graphene-zinc sulfide composites prepared with thiourea in ethylene glycol are superior to those of blank-ZnS and composites prepared with sodium sulfide and ethylenediamine, which is attributed to electron capture and transfer ability of graphene resulting in a more efficient separation of the photoexcited charge carriers from ZnS-graphene composites.
