Front Cover: In Situ Synchrotron X‐ray Diffraction Studies of the Mechanochemical Synthesis of ZnS from its Elements (Chem. Eur. J. 49/2021)

The mechanism of the mechanochemical synthesis cubic ZnS from its elements via ball milling was studied by in situ synchrotron diffraction experiments coupled with gas pressure measurements inside vessel. combination both techniques reveals a heterogeneous reaction including gaseous sulfur and solid zinc. Moreover, kinetics phase transition to hexagonal determined experiments. More information can be found Full Paper C. Weidenthaler et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202101260).
