Izinto ze-ZnS zidonse ukunaka okukhulu hhayi nje ngenxa yezakhiwo zazo ezinhle kakhulu ezibonakalayo ezifana ne-wide energy bandgap, high refractive index, kanye nokudluliswa kokukhanya okuphezulu ebangeni elibonakalayo, kodwa futhi ngenxa yokusebenza kwazo okukhulu okungase kube khona emishinini yokubona, kagesi, kanye ne-optoelectronic .I-Zinc sulfide inomphumela omuhle kakhulu we-fluorescence kanye nomsebenzi we-electroluminescence, futhi i-zinc sulfide inomphumela oyingqayizivele we-photoelectric, obonisa izakhiwo eziningi ezinhle kakhulu emkhakheni kagesi, uzibuthe, optics, mechanics kanye ne-catalysis.
