In situ kinetic study of zinc sulfide activation using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D)

► Investigation of the activation kinetics of zinc sulfide by silver using a QCM-D. ► Identification of two distinct (logarithmic and parabolic) stages on silver activation. ► Demonstration of the presence of silver and its penetration into the bulk ZnS. ► Introduction of a new approach to study in situ surface adsorption and activation.
